Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Joseph L. Blair, Appellant.
[643 NYS2d 430]

Opinion:
In satisfaction of a three-count indictment, defendant pleaded guilty to rape in the third degree and was sentenced to a prison term of 1 to 4 years. He argues that the sentence is harsh and excessive. Given the nature of the crime and the vulnerability of the victim, we find this argument to be unpersuasive. Accordingly, we decline to disturb the sentence imposed by County Court.
Cardona, P. J., Crew III, White, Peters and Spain, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
