Opinion

February 25, 1999

Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (Mary Bednar, J.).


The court's findings were based on legally sufficient evidence and were not against the weight of the evidence. We see no reason to disturb the court's credibility determinations, which are supported by the record. Given these determinations, the evidence permitted a reasonable inference that the purpose of appellant's conduct was sexual gratification as defined by Penal Law §§ 130.55 Penal and 130.00 (3).

Concur — Rosenberger, J. P., Ellerin, Williams and Andrias, JJ.
