Not sure what you mean by this question... If a sample of your DNA is taken, it can be compared to some other sample of tissue to determine if that other tissue sample came from your body. It can also be used to determine paternity/maternity, or how similar your DNA is to someone elses. It could also potentially be used to determine your genetic predisposition for certain heritable characteristics, such as various diseases or even personality traits.

What does it mean when the swab taken from you matches your DNA and the swab taken from the alleged victim matches the victim's DNA?

A swab taken from you would contain your DNA and thus match your DNA. A swab taken from the alleged victim would contain the victim's DNA and thus match the victim's DNA. What would be shocking is if the swab taken from you didn't match your DNA, or the victim's swab didn't match their DNA. Therefor, it means that you are you, and the alleged victim is the alleged victim.
