Anyone knows US law or the outcome from some of the similar real life cases?
shareJust a whole lot of jail time.
Often in isolation because those type of criminals don't fare well around other prisoners.
And sometimes committing suicide. Seems they don't like the captivity.
Google kidnapping.
Google Ariel Castro,
Your life is over!
This is called false imprisonment. I don't know a case in the West off the top of my head but there was a recent one in Brazil where a father kept his son locked in a room for 20 years, supposedly because he was trying to ween his son off an addiction.
The guy is facing false imprisonment charges and faces life in prison.

Also kidnapping. kidnapping for sexual purposes. the rape charges.
PLus a host of other imprisonment charges that covers any possible defence against the crime.
Probably life in prison. Elizabeth Smart's kidnapper got life. Jaycee Dugard's captor got the same (in each case the abductors' women got slightly lower sentences). Michael Devlin, the kidnapper of Shawn Hornbeck, got 70+ life sentences (in case he is part cat, I suppose).
share70+ life sentences (in case he is part cat, I suppose).I assume you are making a joke, but in case you really don't know: sentencing people to more than one life sentence is considered a law-enforcement tool. One of the purposes of multiple life sentences is to adjust the possibility of parole (in some jurisdictions, the idea of a "life without parole" sentence isn't available or wasn't until recently, so the multiple life sentences would delay the possibility of parole from 25 years to 30, 40, etc.).
rape and kidnapping is easily life in prison.
shareIn the U.S., non-family abduction/stereotypical stranger kidnapping/Power-Reassurance Offender with the intent of is a felony; minimum of 20 years to life in prison. And's that's only IF there was no other criminal actions associated with the abduction.
In the case of 'Room' there was continuous sexual assault of a child, aggravated assault of at very LEAST Joy's neck & wrist (ongoing and long term likely, and possibly with weapons involved at some point), as well as severe physical neglect of 3 persons in that room, potentially leading to homicide of one burred infant (mentioned in the book but only alluded to in the movie when you see the backyard dug up at the end).
So in real life this guy would likely get life without the possibility of parole... maybe knock off a few years to a total of 30 or 40+ IF he cut a deal with the prosecution for telling them where he burred other bodies or committed other crimes... because let's face it, this guy's obviously gotta prior criminal record. Most of these guys don't start with kidnapping; they work their way up to it.
Penalties are much the same across the board in every U.S. state.
See the most recent NISMART Study: https://www.ncjrs.gov/html/ojjdp/nismart/03/
actually, the guy most likely DID NOT, in fact have a prior criminal record.
if he did, he would have been listed as a suspect, and cops would have been all over him.
the career criminal types, don't kidnap girls to rape and lock in a room. they do *beep* for financial gains like rob, sell drugs, etc.
he was able to obviously hold down a good enough job to pay a decent mortgage every month (that was a big house he had).... he wouldn't have had a good enough job to own house like that if he was a career criminal.
If he had ANY kind of sexual assault, rape, false imprisonment charges, he would have been caught for sure - cops would have ID'd him as a suspect from day one, and found something on him

The Jaycee Dugard case is a story of more than two decades of failures by three separate governmental entities that were supposed to supervise Phillip Garrido, the registered sex offender who would hold Dugard captive for 18 years. The United States Parole Commission, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the local Contra Costa Sheriff's office all missed opportunities to prevent or stop Garrido's unspeakable crimes. Here are some of their most glaring alleged mistakes.
1. Releasing Garrido: The first big mistake was apparently made by the U.S. Parole Commission, which released Garrido from prison on Jan. 20, 1988. After kidnapping Katie Callaway Hall in 1977, Garrido received a 50-year federal sentence. In his 2009 report on the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's supervision of Garrido, California Inspector General David R. Shaw called Garrido's release "inexplicable." Had the U.S. Parole Commission never let Garrido go, he would have never been able to abduct, rape and father children with Jaycee Dugard.
2. Early Parole Termination: The U.S. Parole Commission granted Garrido early termination of his federal parole on March 9, 1999, basing its decision on his clean record. At the time, a U.S. parole agent wrote Garrido a letter thanking him for his "cooperation," according to parole documents released to the media last year.
3. Multiple Home Visits Missed Crime Despite Dugard Sighting: The California Department of Corrections took charge of Garrido's supervision in 1999. The California Inspector General's report said that CDCR officers paid 60 home visits to Garrido between June 1999 and August 2009 when he was arrested for abducting Dugard. Yet during those visits, parole officers failed to detect Dugard and her daughters living on Garrido's property, despite some obvious evidence. A 2010 report from the California state attorney general's office later revealed that parole agents had in fact seen and spoken to Dugard but also failed to take action. It was not clear when agents made contact with Dugard.
4. No Action Taken on Girl Seen at Garrido's Home: On June 17, 2008, a parole officer noticed the presence of a 12-year-old girl -- later determined to be one of daughters Garrido fathered with Dugard -- on Garrido's property during at least one visit but failed to act. At the time, Garrido said the girl was his brother's daughter, according to the California Inspector General's report. Garrido's brother does not have a daughter. "If the parole agent had taken this basic investigative step (of contacting Garrido's brother), he would have determined that Garrido had been dishonest and could have investigated further," the IG's report said.
The report also cited the following failures by authorities:
5. Wrong Classification: The CDCR failed to adequately classify Garrido, given his history as a violent sexual predator, and failed to supervise him accordingly.
6. Late Visit: A parole agent for CDCR did not first visit Garrido's home until 2000, even though CDCR parole officers were assigned to the case in 1999.
7. Missing Information: The CDCR failed to obtain key information from federal parole authorities about Garrido.
8. Poor Communication: The CDCR failed to talk to neighbors or local public safety agencies about Garrido.
9. Missed Clue -- Utility Wires: The CDCR failed to investigate visible utility wires running from Garrido's house toward the concealed compound where Jaycee Dugard was kept prisoner.
10. Parole Violations: The CDCR failed to act on information that Garrido had violated his parole terms.
11. Warning of Children on Property Dismissed: The Contra Costa Sheriff's office had the opportunity to stop Garrido in November 2006 after it responded to a 911 call, claiming there were children living on Garridos' property. A representative from the sheriff's office visited the house after the call, met Garrido on his front lawn, determined there was no threat and left.
At an August 2009 press conference, Sheriff Warren Rupf took responsibility for the error but said that his office was not aware of Garrido's sex offender status.
Last year, the California state legislature approved a $20 million settlement to compensate Dugard for failing to properly supervise Garrido.

I know you asked about US law, and I don't know if you would give a sh!t about the legal treatment of other countries, but I will put the brazilian law perspective which is quite bizarre and can relate to various roman germanic law countries.
The dude will get only 2~8 year regarding the kidnapping and the private imprisionment. Guess by my experience he would get 4~6 years if it's his first offense.
The above doubles for the private imprisonment of the boy. 8~12.
However he would be only 2/6 of that actually in prison due to penal regime progression.
If he raped her, he would get 6~10 for every occasion, which is a heinous crime and the progression is tougher.
Probably he raped her a lot, leading to the 30 years maximum time. I would guess that he would be out in 20 years for all accounts, but this is an educated guess, could be a little less or more.
