The statute of limitations would be six years from the date of the offense. If you wish to pursue the matter you need to contact the police as soon as possible. Calling the police as soon as possible after an event happens is always best as now it becomes more difficult to prove when the injuries suffered, if any, occurred as well as some of the other reasons you mentioned, e.g. revenge. However, it can't hurt to contact the police and if they believe there is a case, they will contact the prosecutor who will decide if any charges need to be pressed.
