The court properly exercised its discretion when it declined to grant a downward departure (see People v Gillotti, 23 NY3d 841 [2014]). The alleged mitigating factors were outweighed by, among other things, the seriousness of the underlying offense, the victim’s age and defendant’s significant criminal record.
