April 19, 2007 — A Long Island woman testified yesterday that a Catholic youth minister coerced her into sex when she was just 16 and convinced her to have one-night stands with strangers.

The 21-year-old broke down as she testified in a civil case against the Rockville Centre Diocese and Matthew Maiello, a lay youth minister who admitted to abusing four teens in 1999, two of whom filed the suit against him and the church.

"I was very afraid of him, Matthew," the tearful witness said. "And he had taken me away from my family and he abused me.

"He used sex in ways that people shouldn't - he forced me to have sex with several other people. He would bring them to my house and say I would need to do this," she said.
