Posted By Christine McGuire || 30-Jan-2011

The crime of Kidnapping is divided by statute into simple kidnapping and aggravated kidnapping.  Asportation, also known as movement, requirement for kidnapping vary depending on the type of kidnapping charged by the prosecutor.  Simple kidnapping requires substantial movement into another country, another state, another county or into another part of the same county.  Forms of aggravated kidnapping such as kidnapping for the purpose of robbery or kidnapping for the purpose of committing a specific sex crime requires movement that is not incidental to the underlying crime and which increases the risk of harm to the victim above that present in the underlying crime charged Kidnapping for ransom or extortion does not require any movement.
