If law enforcement gets evidence of criminal activity, or sufficient probable cause based on a compliant (such as from PPJ), there can be an arrest with criminal charges filed.

If a district attorney, or state's attorney, was brought sufficient evidence from any source other than law enforcement, they can file criminal charges directly.

If the judge in the civil case sees evidence of criminal activity, she can order the defendant held and charged with corresponding charges. In that case, evidence from the civil trial can be used as probable cause for an arrest in a criminal case.

So, there are a variety of paths for someone to find themselves in front of a criminal judge facing criminal charges.

However, in ALL cases, criminal charges and criminal trials are completely separate from civil lawsuits and civil trials. Even if someone is found liable in a civil trial, that does not mean that they are guilty in a criminal trial, or that they would be found guilty. If there is both a civil lawsuit (as there is in this case) and a criminal arrest, there is still always two completely separate trials, which can reach completely different conclusions.
