So the sex slave needs to repent of ...being a sex SLAVE???
Perhaps judgment day will be far worse for many of us Christians who know to do well and do not do it, than it will be on the sex slave in physical and spiritual fetters, who has no say in their circumstances.
We fritter ourselves to frustration here in the USA about bobbed haired women not going to heaven, or rings and makeup while the world is dying from gross and vile sins being committed against the innocent by powerful elite.
We eat steak and baked potatoes and salads, while much of the world has only a bowl of rice a day. We live in brick homes while many live in mud huts. We drink clean water, while people go to muddy streams and ditches and collect their water in buckets.

Are we forgetting God's mercy and grace? Because it is continuous, that is all those children know. How will they ever know there is a God that will free them?

Cindy, it's their fault. If they prayed hard enough God would send a preacher to save them.
I think "age of accountability" might
have some significance here;
at what "age" is one accountable?
Maybe physical age has nothing to do with it.
Also, the references to the great body of unsaved
as "the sea" may have some bearing on their disposition?
Well sometimes those children are with horrible parents. They usually end up in prison or mentally insane.
Most evil adults are evil because of their childhood.
Say Beth didn't get help and as an adult she kidnapped, tortured and killed 3 or 4 children. How quick would we be to call for the death penalty for her evil?
Would we be justified in putting an untreated 24 year old Beth to death, given her background?

When Paul did wrong, it wasn't him sinning. It was the sin within him.
