I’m no defender of josh but he was underage (12 yrs old the first time) when he first did what he did to his sisters. He was a child and I think his parents and church community clearly failed him when he asked for help. Now this is no surprise. I find that sad.
This made me pause, because you’re right. There are accounts of josh admitting/ confessing what he had done to the adult in charge more than once- it sounded like he told Bobye what he had done without any prompting, and it sounds like he freely admitted the thing with his sisters to his parents. He was crying out for help. And didn’t get it. And now he is this monster , when he probably didn’t want to be.
I'm pretty sure the sisters snitched on him first, and then he confessed. Who knows what would have happened if the sister (presumably Jill) never spoke up about it.
Imo it doesn’t matter if sister snitched. He was still a child who was failed by the adults in his life. It was an adult’s responsibility to get him help. You say who knows what would have happened if jill hadn’t spoken up but she did and pretty much the worst thing did happen.

She just had one and conjugal visits are hard to get in federal solitary.
They're not "hard to get" in the Federal BOP. There aren't any.

They are foolish to think going to trial is a good idea. Once the jury sees what’s on those videos, they’re going to want to personally string him up from the rafters. What are his lawyers thinking? Why didn’t he take a plea?
The jury saw some of the photos and video footage today. Apparently, it made them all uncomfortable.
I think he's a ducking moron for not taking a plea deal. The only bright spot in that is that Jill Duggar (forgot her married name) will get to testify on what he did to her as a child.
The psychiatrist in me knows how cathartic that will be to get to put what happened to her out into the world, on record in her own words where it can't be swept under the rug by her terrible parents.
It's interesting that the other 3 daughters are not going to testify. I'm assuming that the prosecution knew that even with a subpoena they would be uncooperative witnesses. As a prosecutor, you never want to have to treat your own witness as a hostile witness.
We still don’t know if Jill is testifying for the defense or prosecution.
