I think Mr. Karr was just using his Get Out Of Jail Free card. He was facing jail in Thailand for his pedophilic activities and the Thais, when they are trying to show the world they are Doing Something About It, will put a caught Western sex tourist, or in Karr's case- resident, in prison and that is not a pretty prospect there. There have been Americans facing "justice" in Mexico back in the 50s and 60s who loudly confessed to whatever unsolved heinous crime was in the papers in order to get extradited, to get out of jail free as it were, knowing they would probably be let go once back in the States, or at worst, do jail time for whatever lesser crime(s) they actually had against them back in the US of A.

He was facing jail in Thailand for his pedophilic activities

No he wasn't. He faced no charges in Thailand, and was only detained by Thai authorities when the Colorado investigators there asked them to. Given what those investigators told the Thai authorities re his outstanding warrant from California on child porn charges, the Thai government was prepared to simply deport him as an "undesirable". They detained him for a few days as a courtesy to the Colorado investigators, who needed to get their ducks in a row to have him delivered to them, rather than just stuck on a plane unaccompanied, and free to disappear upon landing at whatever airport was cheapest for the Thais to fly him to (since he had no trouble departing the US with an outstanding warrant, I doubt he would have had any trouble getting back in without being detained).
