Dear Wilma,
There is no limit to God's mercy and forgiveness to the penitent who is sincerely sorry.
Christ's sacrifice is infinitely bigger than any sins we could commit but the person has to be genuinely sorry.
The priest can suggest, or try to persuade the penitent to go to the civil authorities, but will not turn them in himself.
The seal of secrecy in Confession is taken very seriously by the Catholic Church.
Peace,
Paul
