Family vlogger Ruby Franke and her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt will continue to be held without bail until their next scheduled court appearance, Judge Eric Gentry said during a virtual hearing on Friday.
Franke and Hildebrandt were each charged with six counts of felony child abuse by the Washington County Attorney’s Office last week. Each count carries a prison sentence of up to 15 years and a fine of up to $10,000. The two were arrested on Aug. 30 after law enforcement found Franke’s emaciated 12-year-old son with open wounds and duct tape on his ankles and wrists after he had escaped from Hildebrandt’s home. Franke’s 10-year-old daughter was found in similar malnourished condition at Hildebrandt’s home.
