People v. Garcia

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Sep 20, 1994
207 A.D.2d 718 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

September 20, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Carol Berkman, J.).


The evidence at trial that defendant drove complainant to a secluded area against her wishes, told her he wanted to have sexual intercourse with her, rubbed his clothed genitals against hers, and repeatedly restrained, threatened and hit her as she resisted him, was sufficient to support a finding that defendant "came dangerously close to the accomplishment of the act [of engaging in sexual intercourse with complainant by forcible compulsion (Penal Law § 110.00, 130.35 Penal)] in view of his seizure of the victim and the circumstances surrounding the seizure" (People v. Glover, 66 N.Y.2d 931, 932, cert denied 476 U.S. 1161). There is no merit to defendant's claim that the complainant's address and phone number redacted from the sex crimes screening sheet was Rosario material to which he was improperly denied access, no showing having been made that defendant required this information, which could have been used to intimidate the complainant, and the court having given defendant an opportunity to renew his request at a later time (see, People v. Rhodes, 154 A.D.2d 279, lv denied 75 N.Y.2d 816).

We have considered defendant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Carro, Nardelli, Williams and Tom, JJ.
