Commentary for Shabbat 136:2

ורבי יוחנן ורבי שמעון בן לקיש דאמרי תרוייהו דוקא הכיר ולבסוף שכח אבל תינוק שנשבה בין הנכרים וגר שנתגייר לבין הנכרים פטור מיתיבי כלל גדול אמרו בשבת כל השוכח עיקר שבת ועשה מלאכות הרבה בשבתות הרבה אינו חייב אלא אחת כיצד תינוק שנשבה לבין הנכרים וגר שנתגייר בין הנכרים ועשה מלאכות הרבה בשבתות הרבה אינו חייב אלא חטאת אחת וחייב על הדם אחת ועל החלב אחת ועל ע"ז אחת ומונבז פוטר

An objection is raised: A great principle is stated in respect to Sabbath: He who forgets the essential law of Sabbath and performs many labours on many Sabbaths, incurs one sin-offering only. E.g., if a child is taken captive among Gentiles or a proselyte is converted in the midst of Gentiles and performs many labours on many Sabbaths, he is liable to one sin-offering only. And he is liable to one [sin-offering] on account of blood, one on account of heleb,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Glos. ');"><sup>2</sup></span> and one on account of idolatry.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., for the violation of each law, which if deliberately infringed, carries with it the penalty of kareth, he incurs one sin-offering only, no matter how many times he actually infringes it. The consumption of blood and heleb and the worshipping of idols are given as examples. ');"><sup>3</sup></span>

Rashi on Shabbat

Exempt: as Rabbi Yochanon and Reish Lakish reasoned, it is said to be permitted [because] he was coerced; it was not merely an accidental transgression.

Rashi on Shabbat

Obligated for the blood: which he ate all his life [he is only liable for] one [sin offering]; thus it is for all transgressions in the Torah [in which an intentional violator is liable for] excommunication.
