There is no specific crime called "accessory after the fact," and in the US the notion of "accessory" in general is largely an obsolete concept. An "accessory before the fact" is now generally regarded as an accomplice, flat out, and charged with the same crime as the principal. The old concept of "accessory after the fact" is now largely subsumed in more specific charges (usually of lesser severity) like "obstruction of justice," "tampering with evidence," or "harboring a felon".
