Persecuted (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tormented

'persecuted' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tormented that I've seen before include "Caused to suffer" , "Harassed" , "Distressed" , "Made to suffer" , "Angst-ridden" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
