Can someone who repents avoid facing the results of what they did?

Salam everyone, I went through a terrible assault and never found any justice. That person caused me deep emotional harm and basically wrecked my whole life. He’s known as a practicing Muslim, always praying on time. I keep seeing reminders from scholars about Allah’s mercy-that if you repent sincerely and pray, you’re forgiven as if it never occurred. I’ve also heard it’s permissible to lie to protect yourself. It makes me feel like Allah is with him and has already pardoned him, while I’m left here in pain. He lied, forgave himself, and only gave a weak “sorry that happened, I want to move on.”
