FALSE IMPRISONMENT NJ
If an individual inhibits or prevents
another's freedom of movement without their
consent for any amount of time, he or she
has falsely imprisoned that person. This
imprisonment may include a physical element
to prevent escape, such as being bound with
rope, as well as verbal threats of harm
to the victim. There are several key factors
that contribute to the claim of false imprisonment.
First, the confinement must be non-consensual
on the victim's part. Second, the confinement
must be intentional on the part of the perpetrator.
Third, the victim has to have knowledge
that he or she is indeed imprisoned. Last,
there can be no available means of escape
known to the victim.
