What is kidnapping? |
 |
Kidnapping is an aggravated form of false imprisonment. It usually involves the transportation or concealment of the person. The line between false imprisonment and kidnapping is not always clear. OJ Simpson was recently convicted for kidnapping in Las Vegas for holding 2 men at gunpoint for 6 minutes in a hotel room.
Aggravated kidnapping varies by state, but can include the kidnapping of a child, kidnapping for ransom, kidnapping for the purpose of committing another crime (such as forcing the kidnapped person to commit robbery), kidnapping for the purpose of committing a sexual crime, or kidnapping with the intent of harming the person.
