New Mexico Kidnapping Criminal Defense Lawyer
New Mexico Criminal Defense Lawyer
New Mexico kidnapping laws define kidnapping as taking, restraining or confining a person against their will with the intent to:
- Hold the victim for ransom
- Hold the victim hostage or as a shield
- Hold the victim to service against his or her will
- Kill, injure or sexually assault the victim
All kidnapping crimes are felony offenses. If a kidnapper takes their victim across state lines, federal law enforcement then has jurisdiction over the case and may prosecute according to federal kidnapping laws and sentencing guidelines, which are typically more severe than those of the state.
