bespattered
Spotted with filth
Bespattered means splashed or spotted with liquid, mud, or other matter: His trousers were bespattered with mud from the road.
The word extends to reputation—to be bespattered with accusations is to have one's name dirtied by them.
Literary and somewhat old-fashioned; splattered serves most modern contexts.
