As a felony, kidnapping, whether simple or aggravated, requires evidence of criminal intent. That criminal intent means that the actor specifically wanted to commit an act that would:
Bring harm to the victim or someone else, i.e., a bystander
Confine or hold the victim in a secret location
Demand a ransom
Commit another criminal offense, such as a sexual crime, robbery, or carjacking
Subject the victim to involuntary servitude, or
Interfere with the purpose of a government or political function
