Is an individual considered an accomplice in sin for not preventing his friend from committing an immoral act in their shared room, and what should he do?

The questioner erred by helping his friend commit a sin. What was obligatory upon him was to denounce it and prevent him. He must seek Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him, and advise his friend to repent, otherwise, there is no good in keeping his company.
