A. Yes, the civil action can be filed if the jurisdiction permits parallel proceedings. While the criminal action is pending, Juan can also file a civil lawsuit against Rosa for the identity theft. This is known as parallel proceedings. The outcome of the criminal case will not affect the civil case, and Juan can seek damages for the harm caused to him by Rosa's actions.
