Here’s the interesting story.
Richard Coverdale, who was 24 at the time, was found guilty form the Durham Crown Court after the burglars who broke into his house uncovered his crimes.

As it turns out, Coverdale invented a 14-year-old character so that he could chat and exchange nude pictures with a teenage girl over the internet. On the laptop there were a total of 78 illegal files, 12 pictures and 65 movies.
The paedophile got 3 years in jail and the judge gave robbers a 12 month community service orders in light of their good deed.
