People v. Morgan
Opinion of the Court
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Tisch, J.), rendered September 24, 1991, convicting him of rape in the first degree, rape in the third degree, sexual abuse in the first degree, and sexual abuse in the third degree (two counts), upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant, who was 25 years old at the time of the incident, was convicted of various charges of sexual misconduct involving a 14-year-old girl. Contrary to the defendant’s contention, we find that the court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in precluding cross-examination of the victim concerning her prior sexual conduct (see, CPL 60.42; People v Crawford, 143 AD2d 141).
