Identifies those responsible as men, perverted celebrities (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
names names
'identifies those responsible' is the definition.
'as men perverted celebrities' is the wordplay.
'perverted' is an anagram indicator.
'celebrities' becomes 'names' (as in a phrase like 'a big name in fashion').
'as'+'men'='asmen'
'asmen' is an anagram of 'names'.
'names'+'names'='NAMES NAMES'
(Another definition for names names that I've seen is " Accuses individuals".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
