YouTube vlogger Ruby Franke sentenced in child abuse case

YouTube vlogger Ruby Franke has been sentenced to four consecutive sentences of one to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to four counts of child abuse in Utah in December.

Franke and her former business partner were arrested back on Aug. 30 after Franke's 12-year-old son, who had been staying at the partner's house, climbed out of a window, ran to a neighbor's home and told the neighbor that he had been abused.

The amount of time Franke spends in jail will be up to the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole.
