Yes. But he still did it out of fear and showed nothing but regret about it for 98% of the Volume, minimum. It's not like he boasted about it like, say, Adam did. It's not like he did it with a smile or enjoyed what he was doing.

Quite the contrary, in fact - he's only ever really smiled on-screen once or twice. The only person with a smaller number of smiles in this show is Hazel.

Yes, he's a traitor, and a coward. But he's also not the Devil Incarnate, he's not this vile monster that did it all for fun and kicks, like most kids in this fandom seem to believe.

As for telling Qrow, to be honest I doubt he could. Watts was already listening to his entire conversation with them in V5E1. I imagine Leo thought that if he even tried, he would've been killed without a second chance.
