The evidence at trial showed that the defendant used his superior age, size and strength to pull his nine-year-old daughter down onto his bed and have sexual intercourse with her under circumstances in which she could not get away. The People's proof of forcible compulsion (Penal Law § 130.35) is not deficient for lack of proof of actual violent conduct (People v Bianchi, 55 A.D.2d 993, 994). Forcible compulsion was shown by evidence of the defendant dominating his smaller and weaker daughter and preventing her from leaving him (see, People v Fuller, 50 N.Y.2d 628, 636).
The trial court correctly allowed the prosecutor to inquire as to the defendant's prior convictions (People v Sandoval, 34 N.Y.2d 371). That the convictions were more than 10 years old, alone, was not enough to preclude the prosecutor's using them to cross-examine the defendant (People v Scott, 118 A.D.2d 881, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 1056).
Defendant's claim that the court should have instructed the jury as to the complainant's delay in reporting the rape (People v Derrick, 96 A.D.2d 600) is not preserved as a matter of law and we, therefore, decline to reach it. Were we to consider it, in the interests of justice, we would nonetheless affirm, finding it to be without merit.
