It references criminal statute found at Va. Code Sec. 18.2-48, i.e., abduction
with intent to obtain pecuniary benefit. (That means a financial or monetary benefit.)
This offense is classified as a Class 2 felony in the Virginia Criminal Code and upon conviction is punishable by life imprisonment or a term of incarceration of not less than 20 years in the penitentiary and a possible fine not to exceed $100K.
