Since those days 'safeguarding' of children and vulnerable adults has been hugely tightended up, including (maybe especially) in anything where responsibilities over 'duty of care' cascade down through and from government departments.

I wonder if that was spurred on by people who knew what was going on and couldn't fight the establishment but could change the law.

I find the Tim Fortescue interview mind boggling. That it was said to camera, not that it happened.

The more of those sort of goings on that are investigated and made public the harder it will be for it to happen in the future. Anything made public but not investigated increases the chances that people will think they can get away with it.

Post Jimmy Saville the courts are apparently snowed under with cases and people in the professions that get called as witnesses are having trouble doing their routine work. But still I think it needs to be done.

IMO, that's the point.
