(AP) ? The father of Tyler Clementi is telling a judge that the former Rutgers student who was convicted earlier this year of bias intimidation for using a webcam to spy on his Clementi, deserves punishment.

The statements come during sentencing of Dharun Ravi (dah-ROON' RAH'-vee).

Joe Clementi says Ravi saw his son as not deserving of basic human decency, and that he saw him as below him because he was gay.

He says Ravi "still does not get it" and has no remorse.

He could get up to 10 years in prison, though prosecutors say they are not seeking the maximum.

The family of the victim, Tyler Clementi, his father, and one of his older brothers addressed the judge.
