1. “This court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that defendant sexually molested his daughter based on the child’s disclosure to her mother, and to the court appointed expert, and based on the child’s cluster of behaviors observed by the mother, the child day care employee, and the court appointed expert, who concluded these behaviors were highly indicative of the child having been sexually molested. The court further finds that the defendant’s denials are not worthy of belief based on the numerous examples of his false testimony in the record. The court further finds the petitioner to be credible based on |4her willingness to allow visitation before the allegations surfaced despite the defendant’s homelessness; and based on the corroboration of her reports from the day care employee and the independent court-appointed expert. The court will consider modifying the order based on defendant’s cooperation with counseling. (Emphasis added.)”
