Criminal charges: no. I don't think that they pass the intent to harm test.
Civil charges: oh hells yeah. They harrassed the girl and inflicted emotional harm, not to mention pain and suffering.
She's already told the police that she feels responsible (see the Smoking Gun's police report), probably because she is at least partially responsible. To me, this seems like a great use of the civil court system to right a wrong. Then again, I'm the guy that insists that the term "frivilous lawsuit" is a misnomer.
