There are a few different “flavors”
of kidnapping in Ohio but I am assuming you mean the regular old Felony 1
Kidnapping that carries three to ten years in prison. One count Felony 4 Gross Sexual Imposition is good for six
to eighteen months in prison. So
if the judge were to “stack and max” (as we say in the trade) or give the
defendant the maximum consecutive sentence that person is looking at 10 years on
the kidnapping plus 3x18months (54 months or 4 ½ years) on the GSI for a grand
total of 14 ½ years. A lot of time
to be sure. That is a worst case
scenario without knowing any of the particulars of the case; local attorney who
knows the lay of the land should be consulted.
