Majority
—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: County Court did not abuse its discretion in ruling that defendant could be cross-examined with respect to a prior conviction of sexual abuse. The similarity of the prior conviction to the crimes charged does not preclude its use on cross-examination (see, People v Laraby, 219 AD2d 817 , lv denied 88 NY2d 849 , 937; People v Breneman, 192 AD2d 1084 , lv denied 81 NY2d 1011 ). The court also properly exercised its discretion in precluding cross-examination of the complainant with respect to alleged instances of sexual abuse by another man (see, People v Grant, 241 AD2d 340 , 341, lv denied 90 NY2d 1011 , 91 NY2d 873 ; People v Walker, 223 AD2d 414 , 415, lv denied 88 NY2d 887 ). We have considered defendant’s remaining contentions and conclude that none requires reversal. (Appeal from Judgment of Jefferson County Court, Clary, J. — Rape, 1st Degree.) Present — Green, J.
