If the accounts were never used and all passwords and computer systems have been changed since, when is the offending federal employee safe from prosecution and/or civil law suits?

The statute of limitations for federal prosecution of computer crimes under Title 18, United States Code, Section 1030 is 5 years from the last criminal conduct. Section 1030 also has a provision allowing civil actions for compensatory damages. Those civil actions must be brought within 2 years "of the date of the act complained of or the date of the discovery of the damage."

You have been given good advice from Mr. Darken. You may wish to consult a criminal defense attorney that is admitted into federal court in your area.
