fingered
Named the culprit
Fingered describes something that has fingers or finger-like parts: a long-fingered pianist, five-fingered leaves.
Combined with an adverb, it characterizes how someone handles things: light-fingered means prone to stealing, sticky-fingered suggests the same.
In slang, to be fingered is to be identified or accused: He was fingered as the informant.
The verb finger also means to touch or manipulate with the fingers, or in vulgar use, to stimulate genitals digitally.
