Court of Appeals of New York

Conviction and sentencing of defendant for rape in the first degree, statutory rape, and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child is upheld, where trial court did not err: 1) in precluding evidence of victim's sexual conduct around the time of the incident pursuant to New York's rape shield law; and 2) in disqualifying one juror who expressed reservations about the absence of DNA evidence while failing to discharge another who was an acquaintance of the prosecutor.
