( CNN ) -- A Rutgers University student who apparently committed suicide was the unknowing target of an internet broadcast showing him in a sexual encounter , New Jersey authorities said Wednesday . Two other Rutgers students have been charged with invasion of privacy after they allegedly placed a camera in 18-year-old Tyler Clementi 's dorm room without his knowledge and then broadcast Clementi 's sexual encounter , according to the Middlesex County prosecutor 's office . `` If the charges are true , these actions gravely violate the university 's standards of decency and humanity , '' Rutgers President Richard L. McCormick said in a statement Wednesday . Your say : Invasion of privacy or cyber bullying ? Although Clementi 's body has not been found , an attorney for the Ridgewood , New Jersey , family said Wednesday , `` On behalf of the family of Tyler Clementi , I can confirm that Tyler committed suicide last week by jumping from the George Washington Bridge . '' `` The family and their representatives are cooperating fully with the ongoing criminal investigations of two Rutgers University students , '' attorney Paul Mainardi added . A law enforcement source confirmed with CNN that while a body has not yet been recovered , Clementi 's wallet and cell phone were found on the bridge that spans the Hudson River between New Jersey and New York . Dharun Ravi , 18 , of Plainsboro , New Jersey , and Molly Wei , 18 , of Princeton , New Jersey , are each charged with two counts of invasion of privacy for the September 19 broadcast , according to the prosecutor 's office . Two more counts of invasion of privacy were leveled against Ravi for an attempt to videotape another encounter involving Clementi on September 21 , the prosecutor 's office said . It is unclear exactly how Rutgers campus police learned that a camera had been placed in Clementi 's room and used to broadcast his encounter . Both Wei and Ravi surrendered to campus police -- Wei surrendered on Monday and was released on her own recognizance ; Ravi surrendered Tuesday and was released on $ 25,000 bail . Ravi 's attorney did not return phone calls from CNN . According to the Middlesex County prosecutor 's office , Wei apparently had not retained an attorney as of Wednesday . If convicted , both could face up to five years in prison . Police at the university , which has its main campus in New Brunswick , are investigating the case , university president McCormick said in his statement Wednesday . `` I deeply regret that today we learned from the family of one of our students that they believe their son has committed suicide . We are profoundly saddened by this report , and our hearts and prayers are with the parents , family , and friends of this young man , who had started at Rutgers this semester as a first-year student on the New Brunswick campus , '' McCormick said in the statement . He added , `` While there is a lot of information being communicated , we do n't have all the facts in this case . ''

The president of Rutgers says , ` ` We do n't have all the facts in this case '' If true , the actions ` ` gravely violate the school 's ideals of decency and humanity ''
