Charged young man with case of extortion (5)
I believe the answer is:
laden
'charged' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'young man with case of extortion' is the wordplay.
'young man' becomes 'lad' (I've seen this before).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'case of' means to remove the middle letters (outsides of).
'extortion' with its centre removed is 'en'.
'lad'+'en'='LADEN'
(Other definitions for laden that I've seen before include "Carrying a load" , "Like cargo boat" , "fully charged" , "'Burdened, oppressed (5)'" , "bearing burden" .)
