[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 177801, member: 35"] Linzer ji I also was stunned but then re-read some sections. In other cases, that have been in the news, at the state level, cutting hair has been considered a form of aggravated assault. If religion is involved the crime escalates to a hate crime, and additional penalties are attached, above and beyond penalties for aggravated assault. The severity of punishment is also related to a finding of kidnapping: i.e. specifically the use of bodily restraint to accomplish the illegal deed. Here is how the Federal code determines sentencing for hate crimes. I looked it up exactly because of the severity that you mention. [B][COLOR="Blue"]18 USC § 249 - Hate crime acts[/COLOR][/B] (a) In General.— [B][COLOR="blue"]Felony + religious motivation = Hate Crime [/COLOR][/B] (1) [B][COLOR="blue"]Offenses involving actual or perceived race, color, religion, or national origin.[/COLOR][/B]— Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, willfully causes bodily injury to any person or, through the use of fire, a firearm, a dangerous weapon, or an explosive or incendiary device, attempts to cause bodily injury to any person, because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion or national origin of any person— (A) shall be imprisoned not more than 10 years, fined in accordance with this title, or both; and (B) [B][COLOR="blue"]shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life,[/COLOR][/B] fined in accordance with this title, or both, if— (i) death results from the offense; or (ii) [COLOR="blue"][B]the offense includes kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap,[/B][/COLOR] aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill. [B][COLOR="blue"]Kidnapping[/COLOR][/B] Where did the "kidnapping" arise? Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 2905.01, kidnapping is defined in part as [B][COLOR="blue"]restraining the liberty of another person.[/COLOR] [/B] Other key elements: a person is guilty of kidnapping if any person, by force, threat, or deception remove another from the place where the other person is found [COLOR="Red"]or [/COLOR]restrain the liberty of the other person, [B][COLOR="blue"]for any of the following purposes:[/COLOR][/B] ... [B][COLOR="Blue"]To facilitate the commission of any felony or flight thereafter; To terrorize, or to inflict serious physical harm on the victim or another;[/COLOR][/B] ... You don't actually have to abduct a person to kidnap them; and the terms of sentencing are 15 years to life imprisonment. [COLOR="Blue"]So aggravated assault + kidnapping + religious nature of the crime = [B]A Lot of Extra Fines and Jail Time.[/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
