People v. Moon
Opinion of the Court
Appeal from a judgment of the Monroe County Court (Patricia D. Marks, J.), rendered August 16, 2004. The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of rape in the first degree (four counts), sodomy in the first degree, criminal sexual act in the first degree (seven counts), sexual abuse in the second degree (six counts), sexual abuse in the third degree and endangering the welfare of a child (two counts).
It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of, inter alia, four counts of rape in the first degree (Penal Law § 130.35 [1], [4]). Contrary to the contention of defendant, County Court properly issued an order of protection with respect to his son because the victims of the crimes of which defendant was convicted were his son’s half sisters and were members of defendant’s household (see generally Matter of Orellana v Escalante, 228 AD2d 63, 64-65 [1997]). “When[, as here,] a crime has been committed between members of the same family or household, an order of protection may be issued in favor of the victim of such crime and members of the family or household of the victim” (People v La Motte, 285 AD2d 814, 816-817 [2001]; see People v Shampine, 31 AD3d 1163, 1164-1165 [2006]; People v Goodband, 291 AD2d 584, 585 [2002]). Furthermore, the order of protection does not render the sentence unduly harsh or severe (see People v Victor, 20 AD3d 927 [2005], lv denied 5 NY3d 833, 885 [2005]), nor does it in effect constitute a termination of defendant’s parental rights.
Defendant failed to preserve for our review his contention
