Before: Renwick, J.P., Kern, Moulton, Mendez, Pitt, JJ.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Melissa C. Jackson, J.), rendered August 15, 2017, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of sexual abuse in the third degree, and sentencing him to a term of 20 days, with 1 year of probation, unanimously affirmed.

Defendant did not preserve his claim that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish that he threw or put ejaculate on his victim's leg, and we decline to review it in the interest of justice (People v Hawkins, 11 N.Y.3d 484, 492 [2008]). We also reject defendant's challenges to the legal sufficiency of the evidence establishing that the substance was ejaculate and that he threw it on the victim to gratify his sexual desires (see Penal Law §§ 130.00[3], 130.55) and find that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence as to any of the elements of the crime (see People v Danielson, 9 N.Y.3d 342, 348 [2007]). Each of the elements could be readily inferred from the evidence. Among other things, testing revealed that the substance on the victim's shoe was semen, and surveillance video footage shows defendant looking down at the victim's leg as he throws or puts the substance on her leg, and then quickly retreating.

By failing to make an appropriate request to charge, or exception to the court's charge, defendant failed to preserve the particular challenge to the court's jury charge he raises on appeal, and we decline to review it in the interest of justice (see People v Salas, 95 N.Y.2d 254, 260 [2000]). In any event, we find that the court's charge on the elements of sexual abuse in the third degree, which conformed to the Criminal Jury Instructions incorporating the statutory definition of the term "sexual contact," adequately conveyed to the jury the proper standards (see People v Lewis, 5 N.Y.3d 546, 551 [2005]; People v Anderson, 115 A.D.3d 459 [1st Dept 2014], lv denied 23 N.Y.3d 1033 [2014]).
