Here's a good example of vicarious liability under similar circumstances at a boys school:

I don't think any liability attaches to Maggie or Ken. My point was that hindsight is a wonderful thing and that if the allegations are true then Saville fooled alot a people for a long time including previous Governments.
The only guilty people in my view are Saville and anybody who knew what was going on and never spoke up. Not a whole organisation.
