Opinion
May 12, 1992
Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (Sheldon Rand, J.).
The daughter's out-of-court statements that she had been sexually abused by her father have ample corroboration in the record as a whole, including the testimony of the responding police officer, the independent statements of the step-son that the girl had been abused (see, Matter of Nicole V., 71 N.Y.2d 112, 124), and the testimony of the counseling psychologist that the daughter was exhibiting the classic symptoms of child abuse syndrome (see, supra, at 120-121).
We have considered appellant's other arguments and find them to be without merit.
Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Rosenberger, Ross, Smith and Rubin, JJ.
