The estranged husband of Ruby Franke is suing her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt for allegedly causing him ‘economic and emotional distress’.
Ruby Franke, 42, pleaded guilty in December to four counts of aggravated child abuse and were sentenced in February to up to 30 years in prison.
Franke’s business partner Jodi Hildebrandt, 54, whom she described as her ‘mentor,’ received the same sentence.
Prosecutors accused the former business partners of starving and abusing Franke’s own children while doling out brutal parenting advice on social media.
Franke’s husband Kevin has now filed a lawsuit claiming that he and his children were the victims of alleged emotional distress and negligence by Hildebrandt.
