The answer

Your error is twofold: informing the young man about your friend's relationships and helping her to get into trouble, whereas the proper course of action would have been to advise her sincerely. The other error is your own commission of the same sin by being alone with the young man and speaking with him. Sincere repentance, with its conditions, expiates all sins.
