Defendant pleaded guilty to the crime of attempted sexual abuse in the first degree in full satisfaction of a superior court information charging him with sexual abuse in the first degree. He was sentenced to a prison term of 1 1/3 to 4 years, a sentence which he now contends is harsh and excessive. In view of the heinous nature of the crime, i.e., defendant admitted that he had attempted to sexually abuse a five-year-old child who was in his care, and his criminal history which includes a conviction for endangering the welfare of a child, we find that the sentence was neither harsh nor excessive and decline to reduce it in the interest of justice ( see, People v. Mackey, 136 A.D.2d 780, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 899).
