Order, Family Court, New York County (Clark V. Richardson, J.), entered on or about April 10, 2013, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent, upon a fact-finding determination (Family Court, Rockland County [Sherri L. Eisenpress, J.] ) that he committed an act that, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crime of sexual abuse in the first degree, and placed him on probation for a period of 12 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court's finding was not against the weight of the evidence ( see People v. Danielson, 9 N.Y.3d 342, 348–349, 849 N.Y.S.2d 480, 880 N.E.2d 1 [2007] ). There is no basis for disturbing the court's credibility determinations, including its evaluation of inconsistencies. SAXE, J.P., MOSKOWITZ, FREEDMAN, GISCHE, KAPNICK, JJ., concur.
