Even if she went willingly with JLM, once he prevents her from leaving, it's abduction.
And most certainly once he's not taking her where she's asked to go, but where he insists that she go, it's abduction.
I'm copying this post from another thread, since this thread seems more active and my questions are relevant to this thread. If this bring any epiphanies to you, please comment!

I have been thinking about the timing of events on the Downtown Mall.
We all know of the video at Sal's that captured Hannah, WG, JM, and the group of guys following Hannah at 1:06 am.
We know of Tempo's statement that JM paid for two drinks at 1:10 am.
That's four minutes to walk from Sal's to Tempo, decide to order drinks, decide which drinks to order, walk inside, place order, receive drinks, and pay for drinks. Fast, huh?
Then there's a lull in things. Looking at the street view on Google Maps, the street in front of Tempo isn't designed for automobile traffic, so I suppose there could be people milling around, but it also isn't like the Downtown Mall, where there is landscaping, tables, little conversation areas with nice places to sit down and enjoy a drink.
So there's time between 1:10 am and 1:40 or 1:45 am, 30 to 35 minutes, where HG and JM are apparently just milling around outside, since the door tender at Tempo saw HG practically incapacitated at 1:40ish. During this time I have supposed that JM sent text to Hannah's friends after he either borrowed or took her phone. I guess I had just pictured in my mind that there would have been a time that the two of them sat down together and were talking, a more comfortable situation than just milling around in the street.
So did they walk up to the Mall, sit down and have a conversation, and then walk back? Or were they just standing around outside Tempo that whole time? If so, then how was JM able to spike HG's drink, borrow her cell phone, send a text that wasn't what he probably represented it to be, etc. There's something about that that I just can't reconcile in my mind.
What were they doing? What were they talking about all that time? What could they possibly have in common to keep Hannah "attached" to JM for that long that she didn't just call someone for a ride or try to communicate with friends again? Why would HG have let JM lead her down that creepy side street away from the Mall in the first place? (assuming that's what happened, but I tell you, I've walked 2nd and 3rd Streets in that area on the way to the Paramount; that late at night I know those streets would be seriously creepy to me.)
I don't get it. Maybe locals can weigh in and change the picture I have of the area in front of Tempo at that time on a Friday night/Saturday morning.

The more I've thought about my own post, the more I'm convinced that HG was inside Tempo. Is it allowed that I've said that? What do you think?
Also someone here at WS mentioned having read that HG was prone to fainting from low blood pressure problems. I've read that myself, but don't remember where, and don't know if it's a rumor or a statement from someone who actually knows that to be a fact. However, it does bring up the possibility that there could be other reasons for her to be unsteady on her feet. I still think it's likely that she was roofied or something, but did want to introduce the other possibility.
I do most definitely think JM learns from his past experiences. That's been brought up over and over, how he seems to have refined his modus operandi every time he tries one of these "expeditions" and something about it comes back to bite him. Imo, that makes it even more likely that he did something to Hannah to make sure she wouldn't fight back. Morgan would have been too much of a handful.
I think Morgan ran, by the way, and when JM caught her, well, that's how she ended up where she was, and in the condition she was in. She may not even have been dead yet when he left her. Poor Morgan.
