No basis exists to disturb Family Court's findings, largely turning on witness credibility, that respondent hit, threatened and committed other acts against petitioner constituting the crime of harassment in the second degree (Penal Law § 240.26 [1]; see Thoreson v Penthouse Intl., 80 NY2d 490, 495 [1992]).
