Try to use your common sense here.
Example:
You raped someone...the next day you feel truely miserable and you repent...your sins are forgiven and case is closed for you right?
Wrong
What about justice? İ thought Allah was just to everyone...how would that be fair to your victim?
You ruined her life. Her father threw her out of the house...got depressive...started drinking and gambling...she had to provide for herself and got into prostitution...brother had to drop out of school because he has to take care of her sick mother...etc...
You think you won't get any part of their sins just because you repented?
You were the cause of all this.
Of course they are also responsible for their own sins...but you wont be entirely clean from that
Islam gives hope of going to jannah no matter how much sin and what sort of sin one does
The way to attain forgiveness from a sin like rape will be: sincerely repent to Allah, give yourself up to the authorities for the worldy punishment, and beg for forgiveness from victim and their family and compensate them monetarily if you can and another way to compensate them is by making frequent dua for them (basically you should do whatever you can to try to please Allah and make victim forgive you)
If you do not have courage to give yourself up to the authorities then at least try to get forgiveness from victims, compensate them and pray to Allah for Him to compensate them
If you follow above advice then Allah could forgive you as Allah never closes his doors of mercy and forgiveness.
At the very least, say for example one cannot contact victim to ask them for forgiveness from fear of being tracked and caught by authorities, then as long as their repentance is sincere then Allah could compensate victims from his bounty and forgive the perpetrator
The hadith of the man who murdered 99 people, repented sincerely and died and was forgiven by Allah, comes to mind:
