Appeal from the Family Court, Bronx County (Susan Larabee, J.).
Viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the presentment agency and giving it the benefit of every reasonable inference, a rational trier of fact could have found all the elements of the acts charged beyond a reasonable doubt (People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620, 621). Nor was the verdict against the weight of the evidence. It was for the court, as fact finder, to resolve issues of credibility and that determination is to be accorded great weight on appeal (Matter of Michael D., 109 A.D.2d 633, 634, affd 66 N.Y.2d 843). The minor inconsistencies in the height and weight given in the identification testimony of the juvenile complainants, on the one hand, and appellant's appearance, on the other hand, did not render the identifications incredible as a matter of law (see, People v. Quevedo, 156 A.D.2d 265, lv denied 75 N.Y.2d 870).
