<p>An Indian American student convicted of spying on his gay roommate with a webcam said he did some stupid things but didn't cause the fellow pupil's suicide days after the incident.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Former Rutgers New Jersey State University student Dharun Ravi, 20, told ABC's "20/20" that he did some stupid things, but Tyler Clementi, who killed himself by leaping off the George Washington Bridge, had other problems.<br /><br />"Even though I wasn't the one who caused him to jump off the bridge, I did do things wrong and I was stupid about a lot of stuff," Ravi told the news show.<br /><br />The former computer science student was convicted on 15 counts of invasion of privacy, bias intimidation and other crimes after using a webcam to watch Clementi's sexual encounter with another man in their dorm room. Ravi said he did some soul-searching after Clementi's death, but concluded it wasn't his fault.<br /><br />"The more and more I found out, it would be kind of obnoxious of me to think that I could have this profound effect on him," Ravi said.<br /><br />Ravi said Clementi left a suicide note behind that authorities never released.<br />"The fact that we weren't allowed to read it, that they said it didn't have anything to do with this, that gave me comfort also because I figured if it has nothing to do with me . . . it must have been something else that was going on," he said.<br /><br />"I'm very sorry about Tyler," Ravi told The Star-Ledger. "I want the Clementis to know I had no problem with their son. I didn't hate Tyler and I know he was OK with me."</p>
