This is the same Jonny Mercer who was tweeting about what a tough old week he'd had in politics while voting down proposals to feed children during school holidays in the middle of a pandemic - he's obviously extremely hard done by and we should all feel sorry for the bloke.
There is no statute of limitations in UK law for criminal charges - only civil cases. If you are accused of a crime, even if it was 30, 50 or 70 years ago, you can still face punishment for it.
