It took all the courage he could muster for a 21-year-old volunteer firefighter to admit to a female acquaintance that "he had a crush on her," then offer to buy her a cup of coffee, a prosecutor said in a Riverhead courtroom yesterday.
So began not only a lasting relationship, but also "the worst night that they could ever possibly imagine," Suffolk Assistant District Attorney Kate Wagner said in her opening statement at the trial of one of three former Bay Shore High School students charged in a horrific rape, beating and robbery.
Terrance Terrell, 18, is charged with first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy and other charges for the Dec. 3, 2005, Bay Shore attack. The graphic details of the incident drew several gasps, tears and outbursts in a crowded courtroom yesterday.

The male victim disrobed to his boxer shorts and, "in one fell swoop," Wagner said Dugue and Terrell ripped off the woman's two T-shirts, bra, and sweater.
The men then forced the woman, 23, to take off her jeans. They next dragged her at gunpoint to their car, where Terrell forced her to perform oral sex on him.
Dugue then raped and sodomized her, Wagner said. "With a gun to her temple, she did what she was asked," she said. Payton restrained her date, forcing him to watch.
