He didn't get away with it.
He was not locked up as he was not considered a threat, but IIRC he is a registered sex offender?

Yes, is still on the register
i believe. So got away with it basically, with a slapped wrists. May have been innocent but he should have known better really.
So is their a difference between accessing/viewing/saving/storing images?

I think that paying is the key.
If he looks at child porn he finds in his grandad's loft then maybe he is just stopping another child being abused, but if he buys it then he is encouraging another child to be abused to make money.
