What Is Kidnapping Under California Law?

Under California Penal Code § 207, kidnapping is defined as moving another person a substantial distance without their consent, often by using force, fear, or deception.

There are several forms of kidnapping charges, including:

• Simple kidnapping (moving someone without consent)

• Aggravated kidnapping (involving ransom, injury, or a child)

• Kidnapping during the commission of another crime (like robbery or sexual assault)

• Parental kidnapping (taking a child in violation of custody orders)

Each carries different penalties—some of which can lead to life in prison.

Penalties for Kidnapping in California

Depending on the charge, you may face:

• 3, 5, or 8 years in state prison for simple kidnapping

• Up to life in prison for aggravated kidnapping

• A strike offense under the Three Strikes Law

• Felony probation, fines, and mandatory restitution

• Loss of custody or parental rights (in child-related cases)
