Virginia Beach Kidnapping Lawyer
The charge of abduction or kidnapping covers a wide range of acts. A clear-cut kidnapping for ransom is obviously an abduction. An abduction charge may also result from an act as simple as two young lovers running off together, or a dispute between a custodial parent and a non-custodial parent. Often, prosecutors tack an abduction charge on to that for a sex crime, armed robbery, or other offense.
