ST. GEORGE, Utah — Former internet sensations Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt were sentenced Tuesday in Washington County after both pleading guilty to several counts of child abuse in 2023.
Hildebrandt then delivered short remarks, with her lawyer clarifying afterwards that his client recognizes her and Franke's actions harmed the children. Washington County District Attorney Eric Clarke said he believed Hildebrandt should serve more time in prison. Franke's plea deal stipulated she would serve all four sentences consecutively. Each of the counts brings a prison sentence between 1-15 years; however, those terms are flexible and up to the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole.
Though Burton isn't involved in this specific case, he has extensive knowledge of similar situations and weighed in on what we may see in court on Tuesday.
