ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, five instances of prior bad acts toward the complainant were admissible to complete the narration and to demonstrate the intentional use of force, thereby contradicting the defendant's claim of consensual sex (see, People v. Howard, 285 A.D.2d 560 [2d Dept., July 16, 2001]; People v. Cook, 251 A.D.2d 1033, affd 93 N.Y.2d 840; People v. Shorey, 172 A.D.2d 634, 635). In addition, the court providently exercised its discretion in weighing the probative value of the evidence against its prejudicial effect (see, People v. Hudy, 73 N.Y.2d 40, 55; People v. Alvino, 71 N.Y.2d 233, 242; People v. Carver, 183 A.D.2d 907; People v. Thompson, 158 A.D.2d 563).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
