Why do christians say. "God will punish them" "Its upto god" when....?

we talk about a pedophile priest and any other person who is a pastor who commits heinous crimes?

Update:

So that means you all just tturn a blind eye to any crime right? Coz its upto god to judge them. And leave the serial killer, pedohpliles free? :-O

    We are taught as Christians to leave judgement for the Lord; not for us to do.

    Remember... pastors are people too and run risk of sinning just like anyone else.

    Because in the bible it says vengeance is mine. Expressly laying the retribution of such crimes at God's feet. That is not to say that I do not believe they should be castrated or put to death if the crime commands it but in the final analysis, once that person is dead, it will be up to God to exact final justice and judgement.
