Maser was employed by two entities, Sacred Heart Academy and B & B Volleyball when he carried out his assaults.

In a statement, Sacred Heart Academy’s administration said the school is “firmly committed” to students’ “safety and well-being”, adding they fired Maser immediately the allegations came to light.

“Sacred Heart took immediate steps to ensure that the coach had no further access to Sacred Heart’s premises or any school activities,” the statement continued, adding that Maser is no longer employed by the school.

“Due to the ongoing law enforcement investigation, all questions should be directed to the Nassau County Police Department,” it concluded.

In an email, B&B Volleyball officials said they sent a notice to parents before Maser’s arrest and that they believe it answers most questions.

“Maser started at B & B Volleyball as a player and began coaching when he turned 18 after he had gone through mandatory training with U.S. Safe Sport and had been screened by USA Volleyball, which includes a background check, the club said.

In the aforementioned notice, B & B Volleyball club had informed parents about a report of an inappropriate s*xual relationship between an adult who coached for the club and one of our players.

“This report was the first notice B & B Volleyball received about the relationship, and, of course, we were concerned for the well-being of our player and her family first and foremost,” the notice said.

“B & B Volleyball immediately reported this report and its details to the U.S. Center for SafeSport as mandated. SafeSport is a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to ending s*xual, physical, and emotional abuse on behalf of athletes everywhere.”

“SafeSport provides mandatory training to all B & B Volleyball coaches and also provides guidelines and guidance to B & B Volleyball administration regarding best practices to maintain safe spaces for all our athletes and to comply with all Federal and state reporting and training in this subject matter,” the notice continued.

“The family of the athlete had confirmed that the incident had already been reported to law enforcement authorities, so B & B Volleyball did not have to take that step.”

They added: “We will not tolerate any inappropriate conduct; harassment; or behavior. We want our parents and athletes to know that if they have any indication or allegation of any inappropriate conduct, to report it to B & B Volleyball administration immediately.”

Jason Maser was also terminated by B & B Volleyball, possibly adding to the feeling of hopelessness about his future prospects which triggered his suicide.
