My understanding of US Law isn't great, so take this with a grain of salt, but for a kidnapping to occur doesn't the accused have to do it willfully and wrongfully?

from what i've learned there are 2 outcomes: they actually prosecute according to the law in which case intent is usually very important, or they prosecute according to who has more money in which case all that matters is what shit they can get away with sentencing him for.
