THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. KEVIN A. BARBER, Appellant.

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: From our review of the record, we conclude that the People presented sufficient evidence to corroborate the unsworn testimony of the infant victim, as required by CPL 60.20 (3), to sustain defendant's conviction of sexual abuse in the first degree and sodomy in the first degree (see, People v. McGuire, 152 A.D.2d 945, lv denied 74 N.Y.2d 849). We further conclude that the trial court properly sentenced defendant to consecutive sentences for sexual abuse and sodomy because these crimes constitute discrete and separate crimes (see, People v. Tarnowski, 148 A.D.2d 1001, lv denied 74 N.Y.2d 669; People v. Alvarez, 135 A.D.2d 543, 544, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 892; People v. Telford, 134 A.D.2d 632, 633, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 903; see also, People v. Keindl, 68 N.Y.2d 410, 420-421, rearg denied 69 N.Y.2d 823).

We have reviewed defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.
