Individuals do not and cannot file criminal charges. Only a state or federal prosecutor can file charges. However you can make report to police about the alleged criminal act. The sooner the better, the longer you take to report it the more difficult the investigation becomes, and the more doubt is actually cast on you as to why you held off reporting it for so long.

Can youget in trouble for letting a minor sip my drink?

Absolutely. It doesn't matter how much, it's still giving alcohol to someone underage. If a child drinks a half of an alcoholic beverage (that you gave them) and they don't even get a little woozy, will you get in trouble? Nothing happened to them, but you STILL gave it to them. It's Supplying alcohol to a minor no matter how much is supplied. Good question though. Absolutely. It doesn't matter how much, it's still giving alcohol to someone underage.
