Opinion
September 28, 1993
Appeal from the Family Court, Bronx County (Richard N. Ross, J.).
Contrary to appellant's contention, the evidence adduced at the fact finding hearing, viewed in the light most favorable to the presentment agency (People v Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490), was legally sufficient to establish the crime charged. Appellant, without permission, grabbed and squeezed the complainant's breast and buttock. Appellant also uttered sexually explicit profanities, and struck the complainant. These acts satisfy the essential elements of the crimes charged (see, People v Teicher, 52 N.Y.2d 638, 647).
