Believe what you like. I personally, think it is simply ridiculous to believe that he went into a tiny little bedroom with multiple occupants, felt them up...and no one awakened. But again...feel free to ignore common sense.
Similarly, I do not believe that he told his parents until he was confronted after one or more of the girls told them.
But, IMO they made up a story at the time, so they now have to stick to it no matter how stupid it sounds to people who live in the real world.

I agree with that point. That's why the family's story adds up. Notice in the interview how Jessa described what he did - she called it "sly." The family says these were quick touches.
Have you ever come across someone who does that sort of thing sneakily - in a way so that you really can't be sure if the touch was accidental or on purpose? And, yes, sometimes the lecher is tricky enough that his hand can end up under your clothing (shuddering now in remembering that "kindly old gentleman" I once sat next to on the subway many years ago - Ewww!).
That's how this 14-15yo's behavior comes across in the police report, in the interviews of the girls, etc. At the time, he knew in his mind what he was thinking, but he knew how to get away with the behavior: pretend to be taking a blanket; pretend to be checking a hole in a dress; pretend to be scratching her back; etc.
IOW, the behavior most likely began with quick and sneaky touches, which would explain why the girls had no idea what was happening.
