Opinion
Nos. 45, 46.
March 12, 2009.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Eduardo Padro, J.), entered on or about February 15, 2007, which adjudicated defendant a level three offender under the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Steven Banks, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Karen M. Kalikow of counsel), for appellant.
Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney, New York (Malancha Chanda of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Andrias, J.P., Saxe, Acosta and Renwick, JJ.
The record supports the court's discretionary upward departure to a level three sex offender adjudication. There was clear and convincing evidence of factors, not adequately accounted for in the risk assessment instrument, demonstrating that defendant has a high risk of reoffending see e.g. People v O'Flaherty, 23 AD3d 237, lv denied 6 NY3d 705).
