Hi Terry,
I don't think there is a blanket answer to your question. Only God knows the hearts of men...each of us as individuals. IMHO, if believers are asking this question, it's probably light from the Lord bringing us to repentance. Otherwise, would it occur to us to ask the question?
Regardless, it would be wise, I think, to assume that our choice to surrender our control over anything to anyone other than God was ALL our own fault. Then, we repent to God and pray for light. If not, He will reveal that to us also.

...Anyone reading this, my advice is to create boundaries in your relationships with people. Especially in the local churches, don't give ground for serving ones, elders, co-workers etc to trespass.

Agreed.

What if Eve had said "I was deceived...it wasn't my fault. "
I note that the man, Adam, kinda' did say "It wasn't my fault..." when he told God "the woman YOU gave me" .... blaming God.
