THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. PAUL KOEGEL, Appellant.

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Supreme Court properly denied the motion to suppress defendant's statement to the police. The record supports the court's determination that the statement was voluntarily made ( see, CPL 60.45; People v. Towndrow, 236 A.D.2d 821, 822, lv denied 89 N.Y.2d 1016; People v. Garcia, 216 A.D.2d 319, lv denied 86 N.Y.2d 842). Upon our review of the record, we conclude that the verdict is not against the weight of the evidence ( see, People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495). We further conclude that defendant's admissions were sufficiently corroborated to support the conviction of prostitution ( see, CPL 60.50; People v. Chico, 90 N.Y.2d 585, 589-590). The contention of defendant that the statute defining prostitution (Penal Law § 230.00) is unconstitutional as applied to him has not been preserved for our review ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Iannelli, 69 N.Y.2d 684, 685, cert denied 482 U.S. 914), and we decline to exercise our power to review that contention as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice (see, CPL 470.15 [a]).

Present — Green, J. P., Wisner, Hayes, Balio and Fallon, JJ.
