The evidence introduced at trial indicated that the Kosciusko County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, Child Support Division, has had a long history of enforcement efforts against Betts, which included a prior conviction in 2007 for non-support of a dependent child.

As a result of his prior conviction, Betts’ charges were enhanced to level 5 felonies, which the jury convicted him of on each and every count, the release states.

Judge Joe Sutton set sentencing for Dec. 7.
