THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. ALAN E. FOX, Appellant.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

On July 29, 1998, a nine-count indictment charged defendant with four counts of sodomy in the first degree, four counts of sodomy in the third degree and endangering the welfare of a child. It was alleged that defendant engaged in deviant sexual intercourse with an individual less than 17 years old by forcible compulsion. A jury verdict found defendant guilty on three counts of sodomy in the first degree and three counts of sodomy in the third degree. Defendant was thereafter sentenced to an aggregate, indeterminate term of imprisonment of 30 to 60 years. Defendant now appeals contending that his sentence is harsh and excessive.

We affirm. The record fails to reveal any judicial abuse of discretion as the sentences are well within the statutory ranges (see, People v. Pierce, 266 A.D.2d 721). County Court properly considered the nature of the crimes, defendant's exploitation of his victim's trust, defendant's lack of remorse and the fact that defendant had previously been convicted for a crime involving child sexual abuse (see, People v. Smith, 272 A.D.2d 713 [May 18, 2000]). Accordingly, this case presents no extraordinary circumstances necessitating a reduction in the sentence.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
