Kidnapping Crimes Defense
The crime of kidnapping in Colorado is always charged as a felony even if the victim is not physically harmed. First degree kidnapping requires the imprisonment of another person and or causing someone to move from one place to another by force or unlawful persuasion. First degree kidnapping also requires the element of holding the other person for ransom. The penalties for first degree kidnapping can be as severe as up to 48 years in prison if you used or threatened to use a deadly weapon, up to life in prison if the victim was injured, and even the death penalty if the victim died.
Second degree kidnapping does not include the required element of holding a person for ransom; however, it always involves some kind of movement of the victim from one place to another. If the victim was never moved and their inability to escape was only for a short time, then the crime will usually be charged as the less serious offense of false imprisonment. The felony charge of second degree kidnapping carries up to 8 years in prison and up to a $500,000 fine. The punishment can increase dramatically if you intended to sell or trade the victim, if you possessed and threatened the use of a deadly weapon, if you robbed the victim, or if you committed a sexual offense against the victim by means of force.
