The word for today is…
incriminate (verb) -
: to charge with or show evidence or proof of involvement in a crime or fault
Source : Merriam-Webster
Etymology : Testimony may incriminate a suspect by placing him at the scene of a crime, and incriminating evidence is the kind that strongly links him to it. But the word doesn't always refer to an actual crime. We can say, for instance, that a virus has been incriminated as the cause of a type of cancer, or that video games have been incriminated in the decline in study skills among young people.
