unchastised
Escaped any rebuke
Unchastised means not punished or corrected for wrongdoing.
Someone who escapes unchastised has avoided the rebuke or discipline their behavior might have warranted: The child's tantrum went unchastised.
The word carries a faint suggestion that punishment was deserved but not delivered.
