1. The Accused

   The Accused is a 1988 American drama film starring Jodie Foster and Kelly McGillis, directed by Jonathan Kaplan and written by Tom Topor. Loosely based on the real-life gang rape of Cheryl Araujo that occurred at Big Dan's Bar in New Bedford, Massachusetts, on March 6, 1983, this film was one of the first Hollywood films to deal with rape in a direct manner, and led to other films on the subject. Jodie Foster, for her portrayal as Sarah Tobias, earned the Academy Award for Best Actress, the film's sole nomination. The Accused also became the first film to win the Best Actress Academy Award without being nominated in any other category since The Three Faces of Eve in 1957, when Joanne Woodward won Best Actress, the film's sole nomination.

Examples of the accused in a Sentence

1. Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes:

   I humbly beg forgiveness from the people of France, the staff and security of the Bataclan, my fans, family, friends and anyone else hurt or offended by the absurd accusations I made in my Fox Business Channel interview, the shame is 100% mine. I've been dealing with nonstop nightmares and struggling through therapy to make sense of this tragedy and insanity. I haven't been myself since November 13. I realize there's no excuse for my words, but for what it's worth: I am sincerely sorry for having hurt, disrespected or accused anyone.

2. Charles Krauthammer:

   The real third rail of American politics is race and racism and if you're accused of it by people in your own party, then it becomes something you can't really shake off, he's skirted around it for a long time… what it's done is it's opened him up to attacks from the inside in a way that hadn't existed before and that I think could have a corrosive effect.

3. Benjamin Brafman:

   Under the circumstances, he's holding up reasonably well. No one can be happy to be in the position that he is in, as terrible a crime as rape is, it is equally reprehensible to be falsely accused of rape, and since Harvey Weinstein has denied these allegations, that's where we are.

4. Spiro Agnew:

   Every time I criticize what I consider to be excesses or faults in the news business, I am accused of repression, and the leaders of various media professional groups wave the First Amendment as they denounce me. That happens to be my amendment, too. It guarantees my free speech as it does their freedom of the press… There is room for all of us – and for our divergent views – under the First Amendment.

5. Lawyer Kenneth G. Turkel:

   In 2017, when New York Times resurrected a horrific false accusation that had been recognized as false almost uniformly and that, in its simplest form, accused Governor Palin of inciting a murder of six people, a federal judge, a 9-year-old girl, at a time when she had a 9-year-old girl, it became time to draw a line.
