unrepented
Never expressed remorse
Unrepented describes a sin, wrong, or misdeed that has not been repented of—one the wrongdoer has not expressed remorse for or sought to make right.
The word appears most often in religious contexts: unrepented sins, an unrepented life.
It implies ongoing moral liability, suggesting the matter remains spiritually or ethically unsettled.
