Suggested a naughty child didn't tell the truth (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

implied

'suggested' is the definition.
(implying is a kind of suggesting)

'a naughty child didn't tell the truth' is the wordplay.
'a naughty child' becomes 'imp' (informal term for a misbehaving child).
'didn't tell the truth' becomes 'lied' (I've seen this in another clue).
'imp'+'lied'='IMPLIED'

(Other definitions for implied that I've seen before include "Suggested; not explicit" , "Unspoken" , "Stated indirectly" , "Insinuated, hinted" , "Understood" .)
