Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Ronald Zweibel, J.), rendered January 7, 2002, convicting defendant, after a non-jury trial, of assault in the second degree, aggravated criminal contempt, and criminal contempt in the first degree, and sentencing him to concurrent terms of three years, 1 to 3 years, and 1 to 3 years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.
In this domestic violence case, the court properly exercised its discretion in admitting a prior episode of domestic violence as evidence of intent (see e.g. People v Zarif, 290 AD2d 401 [2002], lv denied 98 NY2d 683 [2002]). The probative value of this evidence outweighed its prejudicial effect.
There is no basis for vacating defendant’s conviction of criminal contempt in the first degree. First-degree criminal contempt is not a lesser included offense of aggravated contempt (see CPL 1.20 [37]; People v Glover, 57 NY2d 61, 63-64 [1982]). One could commit aggravated contempt without committing first-degree contempt because one can commit the former recklessly (see Penal Law § 215.52), whereas the latter requires intent (see Penal Law § 215.51 [b] [v]). Furthermore, these simultaneous convictions do not violate double jeopardy principles because each of the two contempt statutes “requires proof of [a] * * * fact which the other does not” (Blockburger v United States, 284 US 299, 304 [1932]).
