Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Gregory Carro, J.), rendered January 31, 2014, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of two counts of criminal contempt in the second degree, and sentencing him to a conditional discharge for a period of one year, unanimously affirmed.
The verdict 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 jury's credibility determinations. Among other things, the victim's testimony was generally corroborated by a videotape, and defendant's arguments to the contrary are unavailing.
