The court convicted the father of willfully evading alimentary obligations and sentenced him to one year and four months of liberty restriction with mandatory community service. The defendant argued that the sentence was excessive given his financial situation, while the prosecution emphasized the severity of the arrears and the need for deterrence. The court ruled that the specific combination of liberty restriction and the obligation to pay child support effectively met the preventive and educational goals of the penalty without resorting to full imprisonment.
