Opinion
October 27, 1986
Appeal from the Family Court, Queens County (Gilman, J.).
Ordered that the order is reversed, without costs or disbursements, the matter is remitted to the Family Court, Queens County, for a new fact-finding hearing and determination, and the temporary order of protection originally dated October 25, 1984 is reinstated and extended pending that new hearing and determination.
The unsworn testimony of the child was sufficient to corroborate her out-of-court description and demonstration of the acts of sexual abuse committed by the respondent (see, Matter of Fawn S., 123 A.D.2d 871). The Family Court erred, therefore, in dismissing the petition for failure to make out a prima facie case. Lazer, J.P., Bracken, Niehoff and Kooper, JJ., concur.
