Kidnapping is primarily considered a criminal case, as it involves the illegal confinement of a person against their will, typically leading to severe legal penalties. Criminal cases are prosecuted by the government and focus on punishing the offender for violating laws. However, victims of kidnapping may also pursue civil cases to seek compensation for damages, such as emotional distress or medical expenses.

Yes, a person can still sue in a civil court even if they plead guilty in a criminal case.

What must be resolve first in a case is it the criminal aspect or the civil aspect?
If there are, in fact, both a criminal and a civil side to the incident, the criminal aspect will be handled first. The "state's" (i.e.: the "people's") interests in prosecuting a crime take precedence over the civil wrong against an individual. (Think the O.J. Simpson case.) Traditionally, the criminal matter will be decided first. This is primarily because proceeding with the civil case can prejudice a criminal defendant's rights. The civil case will wind up stalled because the criminal defendant can refuse to comply with civil discovery by asserting the right to remain silent. Admissions or statements given in a civil case could be employed against the criminal defendant. As a practical matter the civil case cannot proceed until there is a resolution of the criminal matter. For further information see the related links below.
