Homosexual or heterosexual addiction, has no difference. Heterosexual abuse of minors, womanizing, etc., would have to be differentiated though from heterosexual attempt to establish faithful good marriage within chaste celibacy though both sinful, but is outside the scope of our present article.
Two factors exists in such trial and judgement. One is the sentence of God, the other is of man. Whether or not a repentant sexual addict is incarcerated, his chastity works should not stop until death. But guilt has to be established by human court, and justice be served. God's judgement though is different, and is based on our continuing faithfulness to our chastity works. Don't think that jail time can appease God's wrath for the innocence lost by this little ones because of the sexual offense. "It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin." (Luke 17:2). But I've put the word repentant sexual addicts, to call on God's mercy rather.
Evading justice is an offender's work, sorry to say that. It could have been avoided from the beginning. We've carried Evagrius' advice, and that sexual addicts don't belong to the call of chaste celibacy, but rather to St. Paul's advice to marry than burn in hell. (This article has not the scope of discussing psychological theory to manipulate and normalize homosexual tendency to focus on opposite sex, on homosexual men's capacity to have an erection which is a promising capacity for vaginal penetration and orgasm, and then be subjugated to the fulfilling union of marriage.) To live a homosexual life as a laity has lesser offense, but to live as a laity healing one's sexual addiction is better.
Establishing one's guilt by oneself rather than by one's neighbor or by God
It's important to know every temptation assaults whether you entertained them slightly (venial sin), or thoroughly (mortal sin), or not at all (innocent). Make sure to always start today as always the day of conversion, no more to go back to your filthy ways no matter how unbelievable such act is for you at this very moment since with God all things are possible. Ask forgiveness if you sinned, repent, make amends, and start again your day of conversion. Then you can be at peace after the temptation subsides. When temptation returns back, rename the desire and behavior as abnormal, relax and rechannel one's mind to good things and name it as the normal behavior or even virtuous one, then life goes on. After the struggle, say to yourself my conscience is clean and it isn't bothering me. Thanks be to God! "How blessed are those to whom Yahweh imputes no guilt, whose spirit harbours no deceit." (Psalm 32:2) This is the height of our freedom from the chains of sexual addiction, and we can rejoice.
