Probably yes, but it is not actionable unless it causes them damages.

Technically yes because you are accusing them of a criminal act and that is slander (the spoken word as opposed to liable the written word) However you may argue that truth is a defense! With slander per se you do not need actual damages. However as Tim says what are their damages. Also if it was just your opinion then you would be somewhat protected.

So don't write it down anywhere and don't go telling the world.

Good luck and hope that helps.
