2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“Section 53a-92(a)(2)(A) makes it an offense to “[abduct ] another person and ... (2) ... [to restrain] the person abducted with intent to (A) inflict physical injury upon him or violate or abuse him sexually—” (Emphasis added.) Once the victim had been abducted and restrained with the requisite intent, common sense dictates that the defendants could not have abducted her again unless at some point she had become free of his control. “Because kidnapping involves interfering with the victim’s liberty, it continues until that liberty is restored.” State v. Gomez, 225 Conn. 347, 351, 622 A.2d 1014 (1993), citing, State v. Jefferies, 304 S.C. 141, 145 , 403 S.E.2d 169 (1991), and State v. Dove, 52 Wash. App. 81, 88 , 757 P.2d 990 (1988). Kidnapping is a continuing crime. State v. Smith, 198 Conn. 147, 155 , 502 A.2d 874 (1985).”
