Yes. It would be civil. To file criminal charges a report is given to police. The police submit a referral to the District Attorney's office. The Charging prosecutor would decide to file criminal charges or not. To file a complaint on your own, get paperwork for a petition. Fill it out, then go to court and file it. There usually is a filing fee. You can obtain paperwork there or at a library or purchase them at an office supply store. The courts have instruction packets with their paperwork. The court does their thing then sets a hearing date. You would contact the defendant through mail or have law enforcement serve paperwork. If you win, collecting damages (money) is another story. The defendant would pay the clerk of the court, then they pay you. If that doesn't happen, Good Luck.

Is assult a moral turpitude offense?

Simple assault is not necessarily a crime of moral turpitude, even though assaulting someone is, by its nature, immoral. But if the act of assault is aggravated by a lewd act or other act of indecency -- perhaps an act that doesn't rise to the level of rape or sexual assault -- it can be termed a crime of moral turpitude.(Aside: the term moral turpitude seems a bit redundant insofar as the word turpitude already implies depravity.)
