The court convicted the defendant of willfully evading child support obligations, resulting in an 8-month sentence of liberty restriction and mandatory community service. The prosecution argued that the defendant's deliberate neglect of his daughter's needs, despite having income, constituted a serious social harm requiring criminal punishment. The court upheld the conviction, emphasizing the necessity of securing the child's minimum existence and rejecting the defense's claim that prior sentencing history necessitated a different penalty type.
