Ordered that the orders are affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The determination by the Family Court that the appellant had sexually and physically abused his adopted daughter, the subject of this proceeding, is supported by a preponderance of the evidence (see, Family Ct Act § 1046 [b]; Matter of Tammie Z., 66 N.Y.2d 1). Where, as here, the hearing court was confronted primarily with issues of credibility, its factual findings must be accorded great weight. On this record, we find no basis upon which to disturb the court's disposition of the issue (see, Matter of Irene O., 38 N.Y.2d 776, 778; Matter of Kimberly X., 133 A.D.2d 226, 227). Moreover, the appellant's claims with respect to the manner in which the hearing was conducted and several of the evidentiary rulings and statements by the Family Court are either without basis in fact or lacking in merit. Bracken, J.P., Eiber, Kooper and Harwood, JJ., concur.
