Wise women young Satan corrupted (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agony aunts

'wise women' is the definition.
(women consulted for advice in newspapers)

'young satan corrupted' is the wordplay.
'corrupted' is an anagram indicator.
'young'+'satan'='youngsatan'
'youngsatan' with letters rearranged gives 'AGONY AUNTS'.

(Other definitions for agony aunts that I've seen before include "people who have problems to deal with?" , "Advisers" , "Advice columnists" , "Write to these for advice" , "Columnists advising" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
