Question: A civil trial would have to wait until the criminal trial is over, correct? Or can the AV file a civil suit anytime?
Perhaps, if she really wants compensation, her family would push the DA for a speedy criminal trial so they could get on with their civil suit....
She can file it any time. But the defendants have a Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate themselves, so they could not be forced to testify in the civil case proceedings.
I think Reade Seligmann should sue her, and do it in his home state, if possible. My post at #113 explains why.
