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

Assault is intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causing bodily injury to another person; intentionally or knowingly making another person reasonably fear immediate physical harm; or intentionally or knowingly touching another person in a way a reasonable person would find extremely offensive or insulting. Causing actual bodily injury is a Class A misdemeanor (up to 11 months 29 days in jail and up to $15,000 fine), making someone fear injury is a Class A misdemeanor, and offensive touching is a Class B misdemeanor (up to 6 months in jail and up to $500 fine).

Penalty: Class B misdemeanor; 6 months; fine up to $500

The statute text provided does not contain the actual criminal offense language—it only contains definitions of legal terms. Based on the classification as "Class E felony" with penalties of 1-6 years in jail and up to $3,000 in fines, this statute likely addresses violation of a pretrial diversion agreement (called a "memorandum of understanding"), but the actual violation language is not included in the text provided.
