Question
I have committed the three most severe transgressions in the Torah, and videos of me filled with abomination are circulating online. Can I repent?
Answer
As long as a person is alive, they can repent. If the Creator of the world trusts you and gives you life at every moment, you have a chance.

Berakhot (10a): Ben Amotz said to him: Complete your prophecy and go out, for thus I have received from the house of my father: Even if a sharp sword rests upon a person's neck, they should not refrain from mercy. It was also said by Rabbi Yochanan and Rabbi Elazar: Even if a sharp sword rests upon a person's neck, they should not refrain from mercy, as it is said: 'Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him.'
