A Long Island high school volleyball coach who was accused of raping one of his players died by suicide hours after his first court appearance, authorities said.

Jason Maser, 22, intentionally stepped in front of a Long Island Rail Road train Friday night in Syosset, according to Newsday.

Maser had been arrested Thursday. According to police, he raped a 15-year-old girl on Feb. 7 and again on March 7. The girl played on two volleyball teams Maser coached, cops said.

At his first court appearance on Friday afternoon in Hempstead, Maser pleaded not guilty to two counts of rape, two counts of sex assault and one count of child endangerment.
