Some things we are hearing now are coming out of his time as MP but are more the "dont be alone with him" type of stuff and not actual physical/verbal abuse. At least that's how I understand it.
There were allegations of him being handsy from his time as an MP that surfaced with the Veterans and Thalidomide survivors business late last year. The defense at the time was something along the line of him not having complete control of his limbs.

Similar to Brown though (the bulk of whose allegations date back to his time as a young MP), the elapsed time doesn't matter much. Politically, he's done.
