CLAM plus I (single)
17 CRIMINAL INTENT?. I think your CANCASSED should be CANVASSED- hence the IN-TENT bit
21d counts .....criminal intent

13 Exist ..(22 = To be)

11a Has been .....(existed)

1
21d. counts (double definition)
17d/3d. criminal intent
13a. (s)exist
22d. to be
11a. has-been (he did exist)
17,3 Criminal Intent (Canvassed = in tent)
13a Exist (Something to do with Sexist?)
21 Counts (No idea why)
I found this crossword very obtuse - cannot fully explain the wordplay.
A count is a charge against a defendant.
