Reporting the site does not protect you from the legal repercussions of
having accessed it.

Yeah, so instead don't say a thing and do it again....and again???????????
Come on Keets!  Take a step back and look at this impartially.

>It's likely Pete's lawyer gave him the best advice at the time.

Yes, and we see where it got him.

>Reporting it might well have brought on the investigation and media frenzy
that much earlier.

Yes, a media frenzy covering an accidental finding that was reported to the
police immediately.
Compared to a media frenzy covering multiple visits, lack of disclosure,
payment via credit card, and the defense of "I was doing research".

Yep.  How silly of me.  It's the same thing.

Right.
