Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him, upon his plea of guilty, of three counts of sexual abuse in the first degree (Penal Law § 130.65) and one count of assault in the third degree (§ 120.00 [1]). By pleading guilty, defendant forfeited his present challenges to the alleged lack of specificity and the alleged duplicity of the accusatory instrument "inasmuch as the alleged error[s] did not render the accusatory instrument jurisdictionally defective" ( People v. Monacelli, 299 AD2d 916, 916, lv denied 99 NY2d 617; see generally People v. Hansen, 95 NY2d 227, 230-232; People v. Almarez, 19 AD3d 1005, order amended on other grounds 21 AD3d 1438). The sentence is not unduly harsh or severe.
