Someone trying the Abomination Accusation Attack is (not always wittingly) guilty of the same thing. Often shows up in conjunction with Sex Is Evil, and I Am Horny, but can be used for other crimes (treason, theft, witchcraft...)
For example, in Judge Dee, one character learns his daughter has gone missing on her wedding night. At the tribunal, he loudly and viciously accuses the groom's father of lusting after her, raping her and then disposing of the body. The father-in-law's sane and sensible responses don't help the father's ranting accusations. At the end of the book, we find out the man had less-than wholesome feelings for his own daughter, which he all too easily ascribed to others.
