A male volleyball coach at an all-girls New York high school took his own life by stepping in front of a train after being accused of raping a 15-year-old player, officials said.

Jason Maser, 22, was a part-time coach at the Sacred Heart Academy on Long Island when he allegedly raped the teen victim on at least two occasions in his vehicle on February 7 and March 7, the New York Post reported.

After being arraigned on third-degree rape and criminal sex charges and released on $75,000 bail Friday morning, news broke out of the disturbing accusations.

...

Maser left a suicide note before his death, Cortez added.

...

“In addition, Sacred Heart Academy took immediate steps ... The coach is not currently employed by Sacred Heart Academy.”

My first thought is that the allegations must have been true.

I couldn’t see that kind of drastic action if they weren’t.

Have you ever considered the extent to which a FALSE accusation of rape can ruin a man's life?

If not, please discuss the matter with the Duke University Lacrosse team.

Three female teachers busted for molesting boys. The difference in comments will, no doubt, be interesting predictable.

Usually suicide invalidates life insurance policies anyway,

Yes, for the first two years of the policy.

Heard of a few that ended in a similar situation.

I avoid people in general unless I know or have to deal with.

Too many loonies and wackos out there.

At time I think I should have a body camera.

LOL, yeah, he raped her in his car on Feb 7th, and then on March 7th, she got in the car with him again. And his family is very concerned for the girl.

More than meets the eye here.

I think it usually exclude suicide for the first year or two.
The thinking that nobody plans their suicide years in advance.

That’s why I don’t consider the suicide dispositive, one way or the other.

“Thou shalt not bear false witness against they neighbor” is one of the Big Ten for a reason. False accusation can be deadly.

If the dude was guilty, he’s off to meet his Maker and his Maker’s judgment.

If the dude was innocent ... the girl bears considerable guilt for his death.

"Not currently employed…”.

Death usually results in mandatory early retiement, if I'm not mistaken...

OK, so he raped her and then she went out with him again and did it a second time?

What did he do? Cast a spell on her so powerful she couldn’t keep her shorts on?

Geez, we need some balance on this stuff.

Statutory, even in a consensual relationship.

It’s a mystery. They say he might have been one of those “womanizers”. It’s almost like a form of hypnosis, the poor waifs are utterly helpless. They start undressing like they was a zombie or something.

It’s the only explanation. No healthy sane 22 year old male and 15 year old female would normally be attracted to each other.

Now, I’m gonna go listen to some Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis albums.

I do not know if the man is innocent or guilty.

I do know we have become a society over invested in guilt by allegations alone.

I would like to know way more about this case before I say anything.

If this was a forceable rape, then no problem with him ending it.

If he was unjustly accused, then it’s a whole other story...

If it was statutory rape, and these two were having some sort of fling, I am not excusing him, but I am sure not putting him in the same category as forceable rape either. No, it doesn’t mean it isn’t wrong, but it’s a different beast.

The article says he was charged with 3rd degree rape, which in NY law would be what the charge would be if it was statutory rape. And based on reading the law, unless this girl had some mental deficiencies, it certainly looks like it was statutory rape, not forcible rape.

So, while it was wrong for a 22 year old to have sex with 15 year old, it sure doesn’t appear that this was a violent or forceable act. Yes it was wrong, but won’t be celebrating the fact he killed himself over it.

https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/130.25

“A person is guilty of rape in the third degree when:

1. He or she engages in sexual intercourse with another person who is incapable of consent by reason of some factor other than being less than seventeen years old;

2. Being twenty-one years old or more, he or she engages in sexual intercourse with another person less than seventeen years old; or

3. He or she engages in sexual intercourse with another person without such person’s consent where such lack of consent is by reason of some factor other than incapacity to consent.”

See Post 59.

It is almost certain based on the charges he was arraigned on that this was a statutory rape, and that the girl was not forced or physically harmed.

So, 22 year old and 15 year old have almost certainly some sort of consensual sex twice. Yes, I know NY law says 15 year old can’t consent to sex, at least not with a person 21 or older until they are 17, but it does not appear he forced himself on her based on the charges. Yes, it was wrong, yes, he should have not done it... Yes, he should face the legal ramifications for his actions, but I can tell you that many a 22 year old would fail that test if they were given it, and if you believe otherwise, as a man, you are a liar.

No, I am NOT excusing his actions, nor am I condoning them in any way, but I cannot put this guy in the same bucket as men who force themselves on women, or that groom and abuse young children.
