Innocent pursued reportedly (6)
I believe the answer is:
chaste
'innocent' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'pursued reportedly' is the wordplay.
'pursued' becomes 'chased' (chasing is a kind of pursuing).
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'chased' is a homophone of 'CHASTE'.
(Other definitions for chaste that I've seen before include "Continent" , "She-cat could be virtuous" , "Cheats (anag.)" , "Modest, pure" , "Pure - virtuous" .)
