In the years AFTER the 1906 "Leadbeater scandal", did Mr. Leadbeater 
continue to associate with young boys?

Did he CONTINUE to allow young boys to sleep with him?

Did he CONTINUE to allow young boys to be nude with him either
in the bed or in the shower?

If the answer to any of these questions is "yes", consider the 
following:

Surely after the 1906 scandal, Mr. Leadbeater should have known of 
the "bad publicity" and FURTHER SCANDAL such "behavior" (even if 
totally innocent) would have upon himself, Mrs. Besant, the 
Theosophical Society and also on the Masters and Theosophy.

Why would he continue such "associations" knowing that certainly more 
scandal and bad publicity would throw disrepute on the Theosophical 
Society, the Masters and Theosophy?

I use the word "scandal" as it is defined in the "Compact Oxford 
English Dictionary": 

"1. an action or event regarded as morally or legally wrong and 
causing general public outrage. 2. outrage, rumour, or gossip arising 
from this."
