IN RE MATTER OF AMBER

Ordered that the order of fact-finding and disposition is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

The Family Court's finding that the appellant sexually abused the child Amber B. was supported by a preponderance of the evidence ( see Matter of Sanjeeda M., 24 AD3d 445; Matter of Shavar B., 7 AD3d 619, 620). Contrary to the appellant's contention, Amber B.'s out-of-court statements were corroborated by several sources, including the validating testimony of the child abuse expert and the testimony of a Department of Social Services caseworker ( see Matter of Nicole V, 71 NY2d 112, 117-119; Matter of Sanjeeda M., supra; Matter of Shavar B., supra).
