Not guilty or a crime or naive (8)

I believe the answer is:

innocent

(Other definitions for innocent that I've seen before include "Giovanni Lotario de' Conti?" , "Free of any blame" , "Name of 13 popes and one anti-pope" , "not spotted" , "Without sin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
