    YouTuber Ruby Franke Sentenced to 4 to 60 Years in Prison for Child Abuse – E! Online


    Content warning: This story discusses child abuse.

    Ruby Franke continues to face the legal repercussions of her crimes.

    The former YouTuber, who gave parenting advice on the platform before being arrested on child abuse charges in August, was given four consecutive one to 15 year sentences. Her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt also received the same sentence on Feb. 20.

    “I am humbled and willing to serve a prison sentence,” Franke told Judge John Walton during her hearing. “I understand this is going to take time.”

    According to NBC News, Franke’s exact time behind bars will be determined by the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole.

    Franke’s sentencing comes two months after the mother of six (with estranged husband Kevin Franke) plead guilty to four felony counts of second-degree aggravated child abuse.

    Authorities in Utah announced Franke’s arrest over the summer after a dispatch center received a report of a “juvenile asking for help.”

    “The calling party stated the juvenile appeared to be emaciated and malnourished, with open wounds and duct tape around the extremities,” an Aug. 31 press release from the Santa Clara-Ivins Public Safety Department read. “The juvenile was asking for food and water.”
