The People of the State of New York,
Respondent, v Nathaniel Cherry, Appellant. |
—[*1]
Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney, New York (Malancha Chanda of counsel), for
respondent.
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.
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 [2005], lv denied 6 NY3d 705 [2006]).
