They may come to your door, but they won't prosecute you unless they find more evidence. Of course, the hacker may leave some evidence on your disk, but that would be a personal attack against you, which is possible if you have enemies. It sounds unlikely to me that child porn enthousiasts would possess such technical knowledge and go through all that physical work. If you're that good, you'd better set up a botnet to do your dirty work and control them over TOR from the comfort of your own home.
