The Lithuanian judge, who made Crystal Lake her home in 2013 and now sits in a Chicago prison cell awaiting extradition, on Monday was granted a 30-day stay as she asks the United States Supreme Court to review the law surrounding her case. Neringa Venckiene fled to the United States in 2013 after exposing an alleged pedophilia ring including the sexual assault of her then 4-year-old niece by high-ranking officials in her country. She lived a quiet, unassuming life in Crystal Lake until 19 months ago when she was taken into federal custody.
