Eric Gonzalez, Acting District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove, Sholom J. Twersky, and Joyce Adolfsen of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Shillingford, J.), rendered December 10, 2013, convicting him of sexual abuse in the first degree and menacing in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.The defendant's contention that the admission of certain evidence violated his constitutional right to confrontation is unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05[2] ; People v. Liner, 9 N.Y.3d 856, 856–857, 840 N.Y.S.2d 755, 872 N.E.2d 868 ; People v. Castro, 149 A.D.3d 862, 52 N.Y.S.3d 385 ), and we decline to exercise our interest of justice jurisdiction to reach this contention.
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 455 N.Y.S.2d 675 ).
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit.
