Opinion
January 28, 1999.
Appeal from the County Court of Chemung County (Castellino, J.).
Convicted after a jury trial of the crimes of burglary in the first degree, attempted rape in the first degree and sexual abuse in the first degree, defendant was sentenced to concurrent prison terms of 12 1/2 to 25 years, 7 1/2 to 15 years and 3 1/2 to 7 years, respectively. Defendant contends on appeal that imposing the most severe sentences permitted by statute is harsh and excessive. We disagree. Given the violent nature of the crimes perpetrated upon the victim in her own home and the absence of mitigating factors, we find no extraordinary circumstances warranting a reduction of the sentences imposed ( see, e.g., People v. Morgan, 253 A.D.2d 946, lv denied 92 N.Y.2d 950; People v. Mitchell, 248 A.D.2d 763, lv denied 91 N.Y.2d 1010), notwithstanding the fact that defendant was offered a lesser sentence in a proposed pretrial plea agreement.
Cardona, P. J., Crew III, Yesawich Jr., Carpinello and Graffeo, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
