The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Alfie Richardson, Appellant.
    [50 NYS3d 872]
   Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Patricia M. Núñez, J.), entered December 20, 2012, which adjudicated defendant a level three sexually violent offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law art 6-C), unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Based on reliable information (see People v Mingo, 12 NY3d 563 [2009]), the court correctly assessed 20 points under the risk factor for continuing course of sexual misconduct, and also correctly determined that a presumptive override applied because of the facts underlying defendant’s out-of-state conviction. In any event, regardless of whether defendant’s correct point score is 180, as the court found, or 160, as he contends, and regardless of any override, defendant remains a level three offender, and there is no basis for a downward departure (see People v Gillotti, 23 NY3d 841 [2014]). The mitigating factors cited by defendant, including relatively recent compliance with supervision and treatment, were outweighed by the seriousness of defendant’s overall history, which demonstrates that he presents a grave danger to young children.

Concur — Tom, J.R, Mazzarelli, Andrias, Manzanet-Daniels and Webber, JJ.
