Is prosecuted for having published (6)
I believe the answer is:
issued
'published' is the definition.
('issue' can be a synonym of 'publish')
'is prosecuted' is the wordplay.
'prosecuted' becomes 'sued' (I've seen this before).
'is'+'sued'='ISSUED'
'for having' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for issued that I've seen before include "Published, brought out" , "Put out (a publication)" , "Brought out a publication" , "Distributed - came forth" , "Turned out" .)
