Charged With Kidnapping In New Jersey
In New Jersey, kidnapping is one of the most serious crimes for which you or a loved one may be charged. The New Jersey kidnapping lawyers at Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC have handled kidnapping cases and know how to defend you from these charges. Kidnapping is the crime of taking a person from one place to another against their will. Sometimes it is done to extort a ransom from the family of the kidnapped person. It may be done to commit an additional crime, for example, a agresión sexual, or may involve a dispute over the custody of a child, or unlawfully confining another person to use them as a shield or hostage.
Under New Jersey, a person is guilty of kidnapping when they remove another person from his or her home or their business, or a substantial distance from the location where they were found, or if they unlawfully confine another for a substantial period of time for any of the following purposes:
-
- To facilitate the commission of another crime.
-
- To interfere with the activities of any government or political entity.
-
- To permanently deprive a parent, a guardian, or another lawful custodian of custody of a child.
Our attorneys can protect you from a wrongful kidnapping conviction in New Jersey and will fight to ensure your freedom.
Penalties for Kidnapping In New Jersey
Under New Jersey law, kidnapping is regarded as a delito grave in the first degree in most instances, though it may be a second-degree crime if the kidnapped party is released and unharmed before the accused kidnapper is arrested. If the person being held is transported across state lines, the matter may instead be subject to federal kidnapping laws.
The following are some of the possible penalties in New Jersey:
-
- 15 to 30 years’ incarceration when the alleged victim is 16 or over (first degree)
-
- 5 to 10 years’ incarceration when the alleged victim is 16 or over (second degree)
-
- 25 years to life, with or without the possibility of parole after 25 years, in instances when there are aggravating factors such as the commission of another crime, or when the alleged victim is under 16 years of age
