For Lizzie Jones, a home burglary in Wrexham in 2011 turned out to be a blessing. It exposed a dark chapter of her life—years of sexual abuse by her father, David Terrence Pethig.

That same year, a thief broke into their home and stole her dad's laptop. The burglar found thousands of child abuse images on the device and reported it to authorities. Pethig faced 17 charges of creating indecent images and two for possessing indecent images and videos. However, he was not remanded to jail, BBC News reported.
