Timothy P. Donaher, Public Defender, Rochester (A. Vincent Buzard of counsel), for defendant-appellant.

Sandra Doorley, District Attorney, Rochester (Lisa Gray of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Monroe County (Alex R. Renzi, J.), rendered September 9, 2015. The judgment convicted defendant, upon a jury verdict, of sexual abuse in the first degree.

It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon a jury verdict of sexual abuse in the first degree (Penal Law § 130.65 [1]), defendant contends that he was denied a fair trial by prosecutorial misconduct during jury selection and summation. Assuming, arguendo, that defendant's contention is preserved for our review (see CPL 470.05 [2]), we reject it. The prosecutor's questions during jury selection concerning the likelihood that a victim of child sexual abuse knows the offender were "relevant and material to the inquiry at hand" (People v Sweney, 55 AD3d 1350, 1351 [4th Dept 2008], lv denied 11 NY3d 901 [2008] [internal quotation marks omitted]; see generally CPL 270.15 [1] [c]). To the extent that the prosecutor mischaracterized the testimony of a witness during summation, we conclude that the prosecutor's comments were not so egregious as to deprive defendant of a fair trial (see People v Fick, 167 AD3d 1484, 1485-1486 [4th Dept 2018], lv denied 33 NY3d 948 [2019]; People v Flowers, 166 AD3d 1492, 1495 [4th Dept 2018], lv denied 32 NY3d 1125 [2018]). Present—Centra, J.P., Carni, NeMoyer, Troutman and Winslow, JJ.
