The trial court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the defendant‘s challenge for cause to a prospective juror, whose former relative was the victim of sexual abuse, since the prospective juror gave an unequivocal assurance that she could be fair and impartial (see People v Arnold, 96 NY2d 358, 363 [2001]; People v Nowlin, 297 AD2d 554 [2002]; People v Cherry, 286 AD2d 913 [2001]).
