Hello. I understand that you are feeling very upset about what had happened and you are not able to deal with the same. However I appreciate the fact that you have decided to work on it and deal with the same. At first, i would like to let you know that your love for your sister is what making you feel intensely guilty. To deal with your feelings, you need to understand and accept the fact that something like this has happened, and more importantly accept that it had happened when you were unaware of what you know now. Here, it is very important to understand that you accept what had happened. It is not easy, certainly not. However I want you to understand that more you try to run away or push down your thoughts it will tend to come back up, sometimes even stronger than before. The more you push it down it can even impact in your later stage of life. Acceptance is the key. It is not easy, nor can it be done immediately but if done in the right manner in due time, you will feel better and more importantly understand that you only love your sister.
Next Steps
You can speak to a counselor inorder to gain that acceptance. Once you talk to a counselor you will gain insight about what had happened, how it does not have to impact your life or your relationship with your sister. This will help you to let things go and not hold on to the guilt anymore.

If you will go Court for the decision of any act, then what the judge do? Does he take decision imeditately after listening the act? No, he gives the person an opportunity to express the condition, intention and the thinking capacity ( usually developed after 18yrs). But about personal experiences and act we are the judge and we never thought to examine the validity of act, intention and maturity of performing such act. First examine your thoughts, intention and maturity about incidence, then decide. The important thing about the real attachment, love, care, support and protection prone more to think about as severe guilt.
Next Steps
first evaluate your experience rationally then convert it adaptively with positive emotions, take care and support for your sister. Be with there for her on each and every step as she was just a year old.

At the age of 14 a boy gets sudden increase in  male sexual hormones (testosterone) which leads to many changes in a boy which is physical as well a mental like increases sexual desire and attraction towards females. But at this age a boy is not mature enough to understand how to handle and express such sudden changes. During this period many boys explore their sexual fantasies by own their own or does such silly mistakes as you did. You need to understand that whatever you did was not in mature state of your mind with full insight about your act. It was an immature act which you could understand only after few years when you got mature. So you dont need to feel guilt about it as it was not a mature /intentional act.
Next Steps
Still if you yourself can't do it  meet a psychiatrist near to you who can help you out to come out of such feelings
