Brought to face charges, man being brought in is familiar (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accustomed

'familiar' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'brought to face charges man being brought in' is the wordplay.
'brought to face charges' becomes 'accused'.
'man' becomes 'tom'.
'being brought in' indicates putting letters inside.
'accused' enclosing 'tom' is 'ACCUSTOMED'.

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for accustomed that I've seen before include "usual" , "Used to" , "familiar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
