Teshuvah may not be possible

The Rambam in Hilkhot Teshuvah, Chapters 3-4 deal with those who are denied the privilege of teshuvah and/or denied a place in the world to come. If you want to see the text and discussion, look at www.Torah.org and go into Rambam then into Hilkhot Teshuvah and the appropriate chapters. (While the Rambam doesn’t deal with sexual abuse per se, his classic example of teshuvah is a sexual situation. See chapter 2, paragraph 1.)
