Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor Offenses
Selling, purchasing and supplying alcohol to minors is illegal. If convicted of this crime, you may be sentenced to up to 12 months in jail and fines ranging from $750 to $1,000. In addition, you will walk away with a criminal record that could affect your future employment or education opportunities.
The parents of the minor could also file a lawsuit against you in civil court, depending on the circumstances of the incident. This means you could be held financially accountable for supplying the minor with alcohol.
