The church can forgive them if they want but that doesn't mean they have to let be involved in any way with the church. Forgive them and send them to jail and let them take thier chances there.
That pretty much sums up my priest's comments on cases like this. (We're Anglican Communion, not Roman Catholic, btw). He's of the opinion that we should let people like this be tried by the state for the criminal acts and get spiritual healing/counseling from the church as needed.
