Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Troy K. Webber, J.), entered April 23, 2014, which adjudicated defendant a level two sex offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art. 6–C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Clear and convincing evidence supported the assessment of 20 points under the risk factor for continuing course of sexual misconduct (see People v. Mingo, 12 N.Y.3d 563, 883 N.Y.S.2d 154, 910 N.E.2d 983 [2009] ). The detailed case summary and felony complaint constituted reliable hearsay, and the court properly relied on them for proof of criminal conduct for which defendant was neither indicted nor convicted (see People v. Johnson, 130 A.D.3d 454, 454, 11 N.Y.S.3d 486 [1st Dept.2015] lv. denied 26 N.Y.3d 908, 2015 WL 6143432 [2015] ; People v. Epstein, 89 A.D.3d 570, 570–571, 933 N.Y.S.2d 239 [1st Dept.2011] ). Furthermore, defendant did not offer any basis for doubting the accuracy of the case summary (see People v. Irizarry, 124 A.D.3d 429, 429, 998 N.Y.S.2d 379 [1st Dept.2015] lv. denied 25 N.Y.3d 907, 2015 WL 2237215 [2015] ).
