Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) consider fornication a serious sin. A Mormon who commits fornication is expected to voluntarily confess this sin to their Bishop when they feel the desire to repent of this sin. The Bishop will guide and support them throughout the repentance process. For some, especially those in leadership positions, a probationary period may occur in which they are removed from leadership and have certain privileges - such as leading congregational prayer or attending special Temple services - temporarily revoked. Exactly what happens will depend on the individual situation, but for most Mormons they will simply go through a period of repentance with the support of their Bishop, and then life will continue on as normal.

Those Mormons who fornicate and decide not to confess or repent of their sins will await God's judgement in the afterlife. The Book of Mormon has strong words against those who 'procrastinate the day of their repentance', saying that they will become subjected to the devil. (see Alma 34:35)

Mormons believe that hiding one's sins or postponing repentance will bring more guilt and pain, but that God as our loving creator desires us to confess and repent so that He may, through His grace, forgive us and restore our personal peace.

When did the Mormon Church and the Ladder Day Saints Join?

They never joined. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the official name of the church. Mormon is just a nickname that happens to be more widely known than the actual name. The name "Mormon" was given to the Church by their enemies, meant to mock them for their belief in the Book of Mormon. Latter-day Saint, LDS, and Mormon are interchangeable.
