This here is true. 5th amendment protections only protect you from SELF-incrimination, and in some ways, your spouse. It does not apply to protecting others. Though some have tried arguing that they are protecting themselves, which then requires some form of admittance of them having been committing ANOTHER crime, which doesn't look good to a jury.
