What are the penalties for Contributing to the delinquency of a minor?

Asked about 4 years ago - Anaheim, CA

Hi, I was arrested yesterday night for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, due to the fact that I provided my 15 year old brother with alcohol. I have absolutely no past criminal record. I live in Orange County, and I was wondering what the possible consequences could be. Thank you.
