The pastor may not be legally bound to client confidentiality, but there is still a matter of ethics. In his position, I would have expressed my sincerest disapproval of the woman's actions, but it would not be my place to speak of it again.
The problem with forcing the truth out this way is that you rob the guilty of the chance to come clean. If this woman told her pastor, then she was obviously feeling guilty about her actions. She likely would have come clean given time. Now she never can.
