Especially aggravated kidnapping is false imprisonment accomplished with a deadly weapon or article made to appear deadly, involving a victim under age 13, done to hold the victim for ransom or as a hostage/shield, or where the victim suffers serious bodily injury. Punishment ranges from 15 to 60 years in prison and up to $50,000 in fines, with a mandatory minimum range set by law, though voluntarily releasing the victim alive or providing information leading to safe release is considered a mitigating factor at sentencing.

Penalty: Class A felony; 15-60 years; fine up to $50,000
