JOHNSON COUNTY, KANSAS KIDNAPPING DEFENSE

1/19/2019

0 Comments

 
In Johnson County, and across Kansas, the charge of kidnapping can be brought against you for, an incident involving, both children and adults. Kansas law defines kidnapping as "a taking or confining a person accomplished by force, threat or deception and does not depend on the distance the person was taken or any period of time." We often see this charge in connection with domestic violence crimes. 

There are defenses, as follows:
  • The alleged victim gave you consent (express or implied);
  • The kidnapping was an honest mistake;
  • You were under duress; or
  • You were coerced;
Kidnapping is a felony charge in Kansas. The potential punishment depends on the circumstances of your alleged crime. Here are some of the possible sentences:
  • Non-aggravated kidnapping (no injury to alleged victim) a maximum of 20 & 1/2 years;
  • Aggravated kidnapping (injury to alleged victim) maximum of 54 & 1/2 years.
This is a very serious charge that you shouldn't try to handle on your own. You need an experienced Johnson County, Kansas attorney to review your unique circumstances. Call us NOW 913.602.7288.
