Idaho laws classify kidnapping into two categories: first degree and second degree. According to Idaho Code § 18-4502, a person commits a crime of kidnapping in the first degree if s/he kidnaps a person in order to:

· Obtain money, property or any other thing of value to return the person kidnapped; or Commit rape; or Commit infamous crime against nature; or
Commit serious bodily injury upon the person kidnapped; orCommit any lewd and lascivious act upon any child under the age of sixteen (16) years with the intent of arousing, appealing to, or gratifying the lust or passions or sexual desires of any person.

According to Idaho Code § 18-4504, a person guilty of kidnapping in the first degree will be punished with death or life imprisonment. However, under Section 18-4504A, the death sentence will not be imposed unless the prosecuting attorney files a written notice asking for death penalty. Likewise, the death sentence will not be imposed, if the kidnapped person was discharged without any harm.

According to Idaho Code § 18-4503, every kidnapping which is not for ransom is considered as kidnapping in the second degree in Idaho

Whereas, kidnapping in the second degree is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison between one (1) and twenty-five (25) years. Idaho Kidnapping/Abduction Laws – Kidnapping

If you go to the Idaho Legislation website it states that (3) A violation of a no contact order is punishable by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000) or by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed one (1) year.

So this guy could conceivably get as little as two years in jail, or as many as 26.

That's odd. Why would not having a ransom constitute for ~30 years less? At the most he'd be released at 44, still having the rest of his life to harass and hurt others.
I'm interested to see how the case pans out, and if he gets one of those judges which is lenient on crimes against women (i.e. Brock Turner). Depending on the outcome this could possibly be a situation which sparks changes in the law, since we don't experience cases like this too often in Idaho.

Happy to see she is recovered and safe!
