Dr. Elizebeth Morgan, I suspect.
(Dual MD couple in DC. She accuses him of child molestation, spirits
daughter away. Refused to tell Judge where. In lockup for ~1.5 years
without charge/trial. Congress finally passed a law limiting civil
contempt to release her. More recently, Supreme Court ruling defining
limits of civil contempt (UMW vs. JOHN L. BAGWELL) may have an effect on
this.)

I don't think this will apply since we are talking about a criminal case
not a civil one. Child custody is a civil issue unless the child is being
harmed and then the acts are criminal. I suspect that no judge or other
body will set a limitation in the case of a criminal case unless the
imprisonment extends past the statute of limitations (if there is one).
Side Note:
Perhaps somebody who archives the list should take this and earlier talk
on the topic of self-incrimination and such and submit them to a law
journal...?
