Opinion

The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Roberto Sandoval, Appellant. [26 NYS3d 861] [MAJORITY] Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Michael A. Gross, J.), rendered April 19, 2012, convicting defendant, after a nonjury trial, of attempted forcible touching, sexual abuse in the third degree, attempted endangering the welfare of a child and harassment in the second degree, and sentencing him to an aggregate term of 90 days, unanimously affirmed. The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342 [2007]). There is no basis for disturbing the court’s credibility determinations, including its evaluation of minor inconsistencies in the testimony of the victim and arresting officer. Concur—Mazzarelli, J.P., Manzanet-Daniels, Kapnick and Webber, JJ.
