I know others have mentioned the Lestranges, but since I'm re-reading 
parts of OOTP, I have the cannon handy for you:

OOTP, end of chapter 23 'Christmas on the Closed Ward'

"I did," he [Harry]said glumly. "Dumbledore told me but I promised I 
wouldn't mention it... that's what Bellatrix Lestrange got sent to 
Azkaban for, using the Cruciatus Curse on Neville's parents until 
they lost their minds."
