5. If someone discloses to me that they were abused a long time ago, can that be investigated and prosecuted now?

There is no time limit on the investigation of offences and people can be prosecuted but proving it might be very difficult as it tends to be one person’s word against another as there is not going to be any forensic evidence available after so long.
