Fan tended, outrageously, to get accused (9)
I believe the answer is:
defendant
'accused' is the definition.
('defendant' can be a synonym of 'accused')
'fan tended outrageously' is the wordplay.
'outrageously' indicates anagramming the letters.
'fan'+'tended'='fantended'
'fantended' anagrammed gives 'DEFENDANT'.
'to get' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for defendant that I've seen before include "Person accused" , "The one before the court" , "Against whom an action is brought in a law court" , "One charged" .)
