PEOPLE v. WILLIAMS (2001)

The defendant appeals from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Pano Z. Patsalos, J.), rendered January 11, 1999, convicting him of sodomy in the first degree (two counts), sodomy in the second degree (three counts), and sexual abuse in the first degree (two counts), after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620, 467 N.Y.S.2d 349, 454 N.E.2d 932), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.   Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15[5]).

There is no merit to the defendant's contention that the indictment should have been dismissed on the ground that it failed to provide sufficient notification of the dates and times of the alleged offenses (see, CPL 200.50 [6]).   The defendant was charged with various offenses against a child, occurring between September 1, 1994, and October 31, 1994.   The bill of particulars further specified, as to the charges of sodomy in the first degree and sexual abuse in the first degree, that these acts were committed in the evening in the child's bedroom and the living room.   The two-month period during which the crimes were alleged to have occurred was not so lengthy that it was virtually impossible for the defendant to answer the charges and to prepare an adequate defense (see, People v. Keindl, 68 N.Y.2d 410, 416, 509 N.Y.S.2d 790, 502 N.E.2d 577;  People v. Morris, 61 N.Y.2d 290, 295-296, 473 N.Y.S.2d 769, 461 N.E.2d 1256;  People v. Watt, 192 A.D.2d 65, 67, 600 N.Y.S.2d 714;  People v. Lopez, 175 A.D.2d 267, 572 N.Y.S.2d 378).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
