Tresspass is a criminal offense, not one which can be sued for in a
civil court.

The cop should have charged her with the trespass offense, and for
contributing to the delinquency of a minor for inciting him to also
commit criminal trespass.

She should also be charged as being a peeping tom, or whatever the
charge is for that.
