—[*1] Steven Banks, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Joanne Legano Ross of counsel), for appellant.

Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Craig A. Ascher of counsel), for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (John Cataldo, J.), entered on or about October 20, 2008, 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 properly exercised its discretion in declining to grant a downward departure from defendant's presumptive risk level (see People v Mingo, 12 NY3d 563, 568 n 2 [2009]; People v Johnson, 11 NY3d 416, 421 [2008]). The mitigating factors asserted by defendant were adequately taken into account by the risk assessment instrument, and were outweighed by the seriousness of the underlying sex crimes against a child (see e.g. People v Aboy, 60 AD3d 436 [2009], lv denied 12 NY3d 711[2009]). Defendant's argument that he poses a diminished threat of reoffense is without merit (see People v Rodriguez, 67 AD3d 596, 597 [2009], lv denied 14 NY3d 706 [2010]).
