In the criminal justice system, the state is the Plaintiff, even if a private complaint is filed. Accordingly, your description suggests that the matter is not criminal, but civil. The best way to evaluate the matter is by reviewing the complaint filed against you.
I trust this answers your questions and, if you live in the Delaware Valley, feel free to call or email me on a free initial basis.
