There is a difference between being forgiven and reconciliation, of course we need to forgive him to keep ourelves right, but it seems from his denials that he is not in a state of repentance thus there is no reconcliation possible, even the Lord himself can't forgive an unconfessed sin.
He that covers his sin shall not prosper, but he that
confesses and
forsakes shall have mercy.
