Not sure where you are, but at least in the US you can’t be prosecuted for things that happened before the law was passed.

You definitely can be persecuted and put on watch list. You could be visited to ensure your compliance. You can be intimidated and coerced. And the US government sure as heck has a long record of such tactics.

Texas is pushing the borders on that with its abortion laws.
If abortion suddenly stops being federally legal, every Texan who has an abortion after the current law will be prosecuted for it
