How far does someone need to be moved for kidnapping?
<p>A gang invited me to a house, when I arrived they dragged  me around the property and beat me up. There are no witnesses on my side but I think it is pretty obvious what happened  and I hope the police just make the gang confess by giving rewards for information. </p>

<p>How far does someone have to be moved for it to be  considered a kidnapping? Do you need to be driven in a car a long distance or is dragging someone into a house enough? Does it depend?</p>

<p>There was also  robbery  and aggravated assault involved so if kidnapping  can be proven  they all get life without parole.</p>

<p>Here is <a href="https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-200.html#NRS200Sec310" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Nevada's definition of kidnapping</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>1.  A person who willfully seizes, confines, inveigles, entices, decoys, abducts, conceals, kidnaps or carries away a person by any
  means whatsoever with the intent to hold or detain, or who holds or
  detains, the person for ransom, or reward, or for the purpose of
  committing sexual assault, extortion or robbery upon or from the
  person, or for the purpose of killing the person or inflicting
  <a href="https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-000.html#NRS000Sec060" rel="nofollow noreferrer">substantial bodily harm</a> upon the person, or to exact from relatives,
  friends, or any other person any money or valuable thing for the
  return or disposition of the kidnapped person, and a person who leads,
  takes, entices, or carries away or detains any minor with the intent
  to keep, imprison, or confine the minor from his or her parents,
  guardians, or any other person having lawful custody of the minor, or
  with the intent to hold the minor to unlawful service, or perpetrate
  upon the person of the minor any unlawful act is guilty of kidnapping
  in the first degree which is a category A felony.</p>
  
  <p>2.  A person who willfully and without authority of law seizes, inveigles, takes, carries away or kidnaps another person with the
  intent to keep the person secretly imprisoned within the State, or for
  the purpose of conveying the person out of the State without authority
  of law, or in any manner held to service or detained against the
  person’s will, is guilty of kidnapping in the second degree which is a
  category B felony.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>As you can see, you don't have to take the victim anywhere. Seizing and confining against a person's will suffice. Substantial bodily harm is defined as "Bodily injury which creates a substantial risk of death or which causes serious, permanent disfigurement or protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ; or Prolonged physical pain".</p>
