YouTube vlogger Ruby Franke, business partner Jodi Hildebrandt sentenced in child abuse case

YouTube vlogger Ruby Franke was sentenced to four terms of one to 15 years in prison. She pleaded guilty to four counts of felony abuse of her children.

YouTube vlogger Ruby Franke, who pleaded guilty to aggravated child abuse of two of her children, was sentenced Tuesday to four consecutive sentences of one to 15 years in prison.

The amount of time Franke spends in jail will be up to the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole.

Franke and her former business partner, Connexions Classroom founder Jodi Hildebrandt, both pleaded guilty to four counts of child abuse in Washington County 5th District Court in Utah in December.

Hildebrandt was sentenced to the same four consecutive terms of one to 15 years following Franke.

In their plea agreements, Franke and Hildebrandt admitted to inflicting or allowing another adult to inflict serious physical injuries upon Franke's children between May and August 2023.
