Probably for the Politics board but it is an interesting question on the Statute of Limitations for personal misdemeanour for those in public life.
In 1984, 15 years before Johnson allegedly committed his groping, Jeremy Corbyn met two Irish Nationalists shortly after the Brighton Bombing;
In 1999, Prince Andrew first formed relationship with Jeffery Epstein;
In 2001, Justin Trudeau browned his face in a way that his threatening his tenure as Prime Minister of Canada.
I thought of putting it on the politics board, but this is another example of someone being accused long after the event.
Twenty, thirty, forty years ago ... it does not really matter. If there was a grievance at the time then it should have been dealt with then, no matter who the suspect is.
To bring it up now to discredit a public figure is i.m.o. pathetic.
I wonder how many other people will now jump on the band-wagon and make (possibly false) accusations?

It's because the woman in question has got a new job in the newspaper and wants to sell copies.
She was gossip coloumist for the standard for 20years nothing was mentioned before now.
This has got absolutely nothing to do with Brexit, nothing at all, and the timing of it is pure coincidence.
An abuse of power by someone who suddenly has a lot more power is surely newsworthy.
Can't see anything coming from it though.
Perhaps it’s got something to do with Johnson becoming PM and having morals that belong in the gutter.
All historic crimes need to be investigated and if found guilty they should be punished
BUT
lets be honest, it has come out now to damage him as PM, nothing more,nothing less, has just just remembered this incident ? ? ? ? if justice was important to her, why not make the allegations ALOT earlier
The Justin Trudeau case is very interesting, If he wasnt so P.C / Liberal , the P.C / Liberal crowd would be all over this shouting for him to resign, but as he is one of them, not much is being said about it, Now imagine if he was slightly right of centre, can you imagine the uproar
Not much is being said? He is being ripped mercilessly on Canadian /us Twitter.

This one made me chuckle
Interesting though that the source of this and the Jennifer Arcuri accusations both came from Rupert Murdoch's Sunday Times. Either its the demonstration of a free press (Murdoch spread betting?) or there is an agenda from one part of the Tory establishment elite by drip feeding dirt against another part of it!
It upset her so much that she can"t remember whether it happened in the 90"s or early 2,000"s ?
I am not defending Johnson but it sounds pretty fishy to me.
Just to understand what you are saying as you seem to have moved on from "it happened a long time and why now"?
You speculate that the person who says she was groped by the current Prime Minister kept it quiet for twenty years because she actually liked the attention??
Once when I was coming out of the grange-end, some pervert grabbed me from behind and forced his hand up between my legs. I can’t remember what game it was or what date it was but it happened. I’ve never forgotten it, it was scary, painful and distressing. I was young, I did not report it or tell anyone at the time.
I could give you numerous occasions when men have touched me inappropriately over the years, I could tell you some of their names but I can’t remember the year it happened.
When you are a young woman, and a man touches you inappropriately it’s very difficult to speak out about it.
I have no doubt he did it, he has form.
The message I took from the post was one of sympathy that a girl/woman dedicated to Cardiff City had to suffer the indignity of a sexual assault at a game in silence but I guess looking for evidence to support the view that Boris Johnson has "form" is another way of viewing it.
FFS he doesn’t know how many kids he has.
And then there’s this.

Lovely boy our Boris
My wife has experienced the same thing, whether out with friends and once when she was with me. It's a disgrace that some men think that they can do this to women, it's threatening and abusive, well done on speaking up about it. I don't think that it's gone away, some men can't be educated.
As I said I am in no way defending him but it does seem a bit iffy that she has waited 20 years, or more, considering he has been in the public eye for a long time, & has only mentioned it now that he is PM & can"t even remember when it happened as she can only narrow it down to it happened sometime in a 5-10 year period.
