Social-Media ‘Momfluencer’ Sobs When Handed 60-Year Sentence For Child Abuse

A judge sentenced social media star and parenting vlogger Ruby Franke and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, to up to 60 years in prison for child abuse, Tuesday.

Franke, the former “momfluencer” and host of the YouTube show “8 Passengers,” has been ordered to serve four consecutive counts of one to 15 years, the maximum sentence she can receive under Utah sentencing guidelines, according to Page Six.

Franke and Hildebrandt pleaded guilty in December, and Franke admitted to torturing her children by starving them and holding their heads underwater, according to the outlet.
