Twisted menace behaved wickedly (6)
I believe the answer is:
sinned
This clue might be a double definition.
'twisted menace' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'behaved wickedly' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sinned that I've seen before include "Transgressed the moral law" , "Send in (anag.)" , "Violated a moral law" , "Transgressed the moral code" , "trespassed" .)
