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.
