A PAEDOPHILE has been caught stealing a pornographic magazine and stuffing it down his trousers.
Colin Eaton, 53, from Rena Hobson Court, Tiverton pleaded guilty to stealing the copy of "Barely 18" at a store in Anstey Crescent in the Mid Devon town on February 18.
He received a six-month conditional discharge with a £15 victim surcharge. It put him in breach of a suspended jail sentence for eight months he received last year at Exeter Crown Court after he admitted 18 offences of making or possessing indecent images of children.
He was also ordered to go on a sex offenders' programme as part of a two-year supervision order.
More than 900 images were found.
Magistrates decided they were not going to activate the suspended sentence because he is "making good progress" and the offence was "of a disimilar nature to those which resulted in the order".
