Your elaborations on the question have been moved to the discussion section.

You have not filed charges. You have filed a civil complaint for a protective order, and may have made a report to the police. Private individuals are not permitted to file criminal charges. Only the state, through the prosecuting attorney, can do this. If you have made a report to the police, you would need to follow up with the police to find out if the case has been referred to the local prosecutor. You would also want to follow up with the criminal prosecutor to determine if/when they will file criminal charges.

If the prosecutor does opt to file criminal charges, and if the defendant is convicted, the punishment would be determined by the judge.
