A lot of time has passed since the violation of the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth against Sexual Abuse; is punishment still possible?

It seems I may be punished for copyright infringement. How should I respond?

While playing a game, my level was not going up much.. so I searched online and found that there is something called a hack program. So I purchased that program and set it up to automatically raise my level. After that, I got tired of the game and had to study, so I quit, but only now, several years later, I have received a contact telling me to come in for a police investigation for copyright infringement. I looked into it and heard that copyright infringement is a crime requiring a complaint to prosecute, so I might not be punished if I reach a settlement. Is that right? How should I respond?
