How to use accused in a sentence?

  1. Mary Gatter:

    We don't want to be in a position of being accused of selling tissue and stuff like that, on the other hand, there are costs associated with the use of our space, and all that kind of stuff.

  2. Ray Buford:

    HUNDREDS OF GYMNASTS ACROSS US ALLEGE SEXUAL ABUSE, INVESTIGATION REVEALS Buford, Hardin, Dior Johnson and Tamarion Johnson weresuspended earlier this seasonfor violating team rules after a woman accused them of sexual assault. No criminal charges were ever filed and the players were then reinstated. But the woman went to court andtook out restraining ordersbarring the athletes from TCF Bank Stadium. Both sides eventually reached an agreement after the woman testified, detailing a graphic encounter with multiple players. These latest indefinite suspensions are a result of an internal University of Minnesota investigation into the allegations, conducted by the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action. Some of the 10 Gophers players are facing not just team suspensions but expulsion from the university. Buford's father said his understanding is that the number of players grew to double digits because of their proximity to what allegedly happened during the alleged sexual assault. He insists his son will continue tofight. If you can be tried for the same thing -- this is like the 4th different entity -- the more you go at something, the better the successrateis.

Matt Gaetz’s girlfriend, she was allegedly 17, the 17th letter is Q, it all adds up! What are you waiting for? The storm is finally here and QAnon is like ‘you can’t believe everything you read on the internet.’.

  4. Hillary Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon:

    Donald Trump, though, noted that a key figure in the piece, a former girlfriend, subsequently accused the Times of taking her words out of context, as Donald Trump tried to turn the focus back to the Clintons.
