"False memories and suggestibility" are more prevalent in young children than in those who are older. Ever hear of the McMartin Case?

The McMartin pre-school in Manhattan Beach, California was the center of a terrible scandal. Allegedly there were Satanic practices going on and all the children being sexually abused.  Those were the allegations. The  charge was in 1983. The Pre-trial was from 1984-197 and the Trial went from 1987 to 1990. All charges were dropped. There were no convictions. Apparently the hysteria of the times caused it. All due to "suggestibility and false memories". Pre-school children. What about adults?  How suggestible are they when it comes to remembering something that happened them?
