The jury's determination with respect to issues of credibility is to be given due deference. (People v Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495.) There is no reason to disturb its resolution of those issues in the present case. The trial court did not improperly curtail defense counsel's cross-examination of the complainant. The court properly limited the defense counsel's inquiry on the subject of the complainant's alleged contact with a prostitute after the complainant gave negative responses to several of defense counsel's questions on the subject and defense counsel sought to persist and ask essentially the same questions.
