If you transport a minor from one state to another to another, does that count as two felonies even if it's one trip? You don't have to travel very far to go from, say, Virginia to West Virginia to Maryland to Pennsylvania, or Connecticut to New York to Pennsylvania to New Jersey, or Utah to Colorado to New Mexico to Arizona (Four Corners). Given the aggressive nature of our "justice" system, my guess is they'd pin as many counts on you as they could, regardless of how accurately they reflected the severity of the crime. Or, let's suppose I transported a minor from Texas to Oklahoma and then back. I'll bet they'd try to get 2 separate counts.
