Definition of "accusing"

Both figures looked upstage at the model of a white statue which pointed down at them with the accusing finger of an Italian traffic policeman or wartime recruiting poster.

1991, Stephen Fry, The Liar, London: Heinemann, page 3

1840, Johnson Grant, Sketches in divinity, page 77
