Disgraced family vlogger Ruby Franke pleads guilty to child abuse

Ruby Franke, a Utah mother of six who documented her family’s life on the now-defunct YouTube channel “8 Passengers,” has pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse, a second-degree felony. Franke appeared in court Monday in handcuffs and a grey-and-white prison jumpsuit to accept the plea deal. She was originally charged with six counts of child abuse, but two charges were dropped as part of the agreement. Franke is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 20. The court hearing for the disgraced family vlogger was broadcast in full by local news affiliate KUTV, showing Franke solemnly entering a plea of “guilty” as the judge read off her list of charges. When asked for her plea on the last count, Franke said, “with my deepest regret and sorrow for my family and my children, guilty.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/10179276/ruby-franke-pleads-guilty-child-abuse-jodi-hildebrandt/ Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on Twitter HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews #rubyfranke #vlogger
