Rosemary Herbert, Office of the Appellate Defender, New York (Lauren Stephens-Davidowitz of counsel), for appellant.

Darcel D. Clark, District Attorney, Bronx (Kristian D. Amundsen of counsel), for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Raymond L. Bruce, J.), entered on or about September 30, 2015, which adjudicated defendant a level two sex offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The court providently exercised its discretion in granting an upward departure (see People v Gillotti, 23 NY3d 841 [2014]) based on clear and convincing evidence that defendant possessed over 100 images of child pornography, including forced intercourse with children as young as three years old. Defendant's interest in this abhorrent type of pornography demonstrates a danger to children (see People v Ryan, 157 AD3d 463 [1st Dept 2018]; People v Velasquez, 143 AD3d 583 [1st Dept 2016], lv denied 28 NY3d 914 [2017]).

We have considered and rejected defendant's remaining arguments. Concur—Andrias, J.P., Gesmer, Kern, Singh, Moulton, JJ.
