—[*1] Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Jody Ratner of counsel), for appellant.

Robert T. Johnson, District Attorney, Bronx (Melanie A. Sarver of counsel), for respondent.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Megan Tallmer, J.), entered on or about February 4, 2011, which adjudicated defendant a level three 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 declining to grant a downward departure to level two (see People v Cintron, 12 NY3d 60, 70 [2009], cert denied 558 US 1011 [2009]; People v Johnson, 11 NY3d 416, 418, 421 [2008]). Neither defendant's age (late 40s) nor any of the other factors cited by defendant warranted a downward departure, given such factors as the seriousness of his sex offense against two young children (see e.g. People v Gajadhar, 103 AD3d 572 [1st Dept 2013]; People v Ward, 83 AD3d 561 [1st Dept 2011], lv denied 17 NY3d 707 [2011]). Concur—Tom, J.P., Acosta, Román, Feinman and Clark, JJ.
