No, you cannot. A tort is a civil wrong for which you may be liable to another person for damages. It is not a criminal wrong punishable under the criminal law.

Added: Some torts may also be criminal offenses, though. For example, murder is a crime, but you can also be sued in tort for wrongful death in addition to being prosecuted criminally.
