Charging with a crime (8)
I believe the answer is:
accusing
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">charging with a crime</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for accusing that I've seen before include "Charging (someone with crime)" , "Charging with an offence" , "Levelling a charge against" , "Indicting" .)
