Assists in a crime (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abets

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">assists in a crime</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for abets that I've seen before include "Gives support" , "Assists in wrongdoing" , "Aids in wrong-doing" , "Assists or encourages" , "Helps (someone to commit crime)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the LA Times, the Newsday.com, the Newsday, The Mirror and the USA Today.
