That was my point about the Guardian article. They are pitching it as events that happened in the 70s and 80s and comments like:

O’Connor listed six main areas on which the Westminster investigation will focus. On the role of parliamentary whips, he suggested: “Is it possible that on occasions in the past [they] may have received allegations of child sexual abuse made against politicians in their own party, and then failed to report those allegations, or to take any other appropriate steps?

Two other strands, O’Connor explained, would involve examining whether police or prosecutors were prevented from pursuing cases. “A number of retired police officers have claimed that they were indeed ‘warned off’ investigating possible cases of child sexual abuse committed by senior politicians in the 1960s, 70s and 80s,” he said.

In other words, 'nothing to see here.. move along...'
