Co-perpetrator is a term used to describe someone who assists someone else in committing a particular crime or offense. There are several synonyms that can be used to describe a co-perpetrator, such as accomplice, partner in crime, collaborator, abettor, associate, confederate, and cohort. These terms are often used interchangeably, and they all refer to someone who actively participates in an illegal act, either by assisting in planning and carrying out the crime or by providing support or encouragement to the main perpetrator. Regardless of the term used, co-perpetrators are equally responsible for their actions and can face the same consequences as the principal offender.
