I believe the answer is:

pervert

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'deviant' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'for every french green' is the wordplay.
'for every' becomes 'per' (I've seen this in another clue).
'french green' becomes 'vert' ('green' in French).
'per'+'vert'='PERVERT'

'there's someone deemed' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pervert that I've seen before include "Debauchee" , "Lead astray - deviant" , "Turn from proper course - sometimes of justice" , "Corrupt" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
