Joan Burnie was on Question time the other night and said she was married to a an MP in the 70's and reckoned some of those uncovered were then "blackmailed" into doing stuff that was needed , presumably by their respective parties.
So not only does it seem you had perverts molesting children you had others directly profiting in one way or another from keeping it quiet.
