Ravi, 20, was found guilty in March of 15 criminal charges after watching Clementi kissing another man on his webcam, then posting about the incident on Twitter, instant messaging programs and text messages.
Several nights later, Clementi took his own life, leaving a goodbye message on his Facebook page before jumping to his death from the George Washington Bridge: “Jumping off the gw bridge. Sorry.”
Ravi is maintaining his innocence and appealing the conviction. During his trial, he defended his webcam use by saying that he set it up to ensure Clementi's visitor didn't steal his iPad.
Ravi was awarded one five-day reduction in his sentence for good behavior, and another for working while in Middlesex County, N.J. jail. He'll still have to undergo three years of probation and more than $11,000 in fines, 300 hours of court-ordered community service, in addition to counseling.
The prosecution in the case is appealing the ruling, arguing that Ravi should be charged with additional jail time. His crimes carry a maximum sentence of 10 years.
Immigration authorities said Monday that Ravi, an Indian citizen who's in the U.S. legally, will not be deported, according to the Associated Press.
During Ravi's conviction, the judge took time to point out that Ravi had never apologized to Clementi's family for his actions.
The case become a hotly debated issue among the gay community and the country at large. Some argued that Ravi's sentencing was too light, while others said that putting too much blame on Ravi would distract from a much-needed conversation about the emotional and psychological toll experienced by gay people who don't feel supported by their loved ones.
