Its an interesting thought experiment to imagine if we had a world where, if proven beyond reasonable doubt, that someone knew of something like this taking place, they bore some real responsibility as well.
While I don't know anything about legal nuances to sufficiently say its a good idea (or bad, honestly), I have to say that my armchair take is this would mitigate a lot of bad in our society, as the incentives to allow things go unnoticed or effectively ignored would be gone

It's also probably hard to prove they knew, so they go after them on a failure to supervise in civil trials. The burden of proof is also much lower in civil cases.
