I interpret it as Keith does.  What I make of that statement is that 
they want him to go to jail.  They don't think merely putting Pete on a 
register is going to do anything toward curbing or eliminating his 
sick-bastard true inclinations, which he has regrettably managed to 
mask well enough to avoid jail time.  They are comforted, however, by 
the thought that the has "a lifetime left of a reputation for checking 
out child porn."

Sure sounds like they're sorry he didn't get more severe penalties.  I 
don't know what dialogue's been going on between them and any IGTC'ers 
but to me it reads like they've decided Pete is one that got away  :-P.

Cheers,
Alan
