We do have confessions in informal ways. We do not utilize it quite like the Catholics do, but we do it in more of a counseling fashion.
That's where the crisis of confession comes in at. Say a person in your congregation wants to talk and advises you that he raped his kid. In that case, I'd be running to the police.
Again, you are right That Guy. Anyone, no matter how evil, can be forgiven by God. However, that doesn't absolve one from judgment by authorities.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
