I've encountered this term in cases related to DCFS. This is when a person has been accused of some sort of violation related to children or spouses (negligence in caring for / injurious environment / physical abuse / domestic violence, etc), and after the investigation is done, the person is "indicated", meaning that the evidence gathered proves the accusation to be true. I truly don't know how to translate "indicated" in this context. I've seen it as "indicado", but I believe this may be a false cognate.

I have translating case files for the DCFS for a long time now, and "INDICADO" is the term accepted by the DCFS in their glossary.
The opposite of INDICADO is INFUNDADO (unfounded).

I don´t think the expression "to be indicated" is used in Spain in the mentioned context nor in any other legal context...."guilty" would be the word but only after a legal trial. Cheers.

English term (edited):
You have been indicted
usted ha sido imputado
En el contexto dado y con el significado propuesto diría que se trata de un typo -por mucho que parezca común a tenor de lo que se comenta el uso de "indicated" versus "indicted" (con el sentido de imputado, encausado o inculpado en función del contexto; alguien a quien el peso de las pruebas apunta como culpable y es llevado a juicio por ello).

: Imputar is a transitive verb. So wouldn't there need to be a direct object? Se le ha imputado (una infraccion).

¡Hola, Molly! Entiendo lo que planteas pero realmente se dice así; está imputado; ha sido imputado. Creo que es porque el participio "imputado" cumple aquí función de adjetivo predicativo. Pero no me hagas mucho caso en esto ;)

If you received notice of an indicated finding of child abuse or neglect, you have the right to:
A copy of the investigative file,
An administrative ("expungement") appeal hearing, and
Judicial review of the administrative appeal hearing.
If you are indicated, DCFS will keep your name in a database called the State Central Register (SCR). Your name can stay in this database 5, 20, or 50 years depending on the allegation.
