You could claim ignorance in either case, and it would probably have the same impact on the court.
But if your network was secured, you could claim that you did what you could to restrict such access, to a reasonable degree. You would probably not be held liable unless it could be demonstrated that you intentionally made the access code available to others, or failed to protect it adequately.
If you left it open, you could easily be held liable due to negligence (where ignorance is considered no excuse).
