Release from blame (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

absolve

(Other definitions for absolve that I've seen before include "Free (a person) from guilt" , "Clear of blame or quilt" , "Declare (someone) free of guilt" , "Grant remission of a sin" , "Grant remission of sins" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
