   Appeal from a judgment of the Erie County Court (Timothy J. Drury, J.), rendered November 10, 2004. The judgment convicted defendant, upon a jury verdict, of rape in the first degree, sexual abuse in the first degree (two counts) and endangering the welfare of a child (two counts).

It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.

The sentence is not unduly harsh or severe. Present—Kehoe, J.P, Gorski, Martoche, Pine and Hayes, JJ.
