Crossword Genius

Outlaw group sex (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bandit

'outlaw' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'group sex' is the wordplay.
'group' becomes 'band' (band is a kind of group).
'sex' becomes 'it' (a common euphemism).
'band'+'it'='BANDIT'

(Other definitions for bandit that I've seen before include "Criminal type" , "Armed brigand" , "Member of a robber gang" , "hood" , "Outlaw, brigand" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
