First you have to see if there is standing, Was a crime actually committed, And youi will have to file ( see note) in the area where the crime happened, if it happened in Britian, that is where you have to file, if it happened in the US, you have to file in the state and county where the crime happened.
Some states have ways a citizen can file a charge, in other states, you have to merely report it to the police and let the DA decide to file charges or not.
If you live in a place where you are allowed to file charges, you go to state court, and file a complaint, a summons will be sent out to both parties, he and you would appear and you would present your evidence to a judge who would merely deside if there appears to be enough evidence to go to trial.
But if your state does not allow this, then it is all up to the DA

The crime was in England. The American is in the states. Then its political. The Labour government will assist you to remove a British citizen to the USA for trial even if you ain't got evidence. If like the Nat West 3 you screw up your prosecution in the USA bring some English guy's and make them the scapegoats for your cockup.

You can not file criminal charges yourself, you will have to report the crime to the police or DA in your district. If they feel it warrants a crime they will bring charges for you. Then they will work on extradition if they are not in the US. This does take a while though.

If the Brit is in the US, file the complaint with your local police. Jurisdiction of where the crime took place takes precedence. If it's international, then seek out an international law lawyer.
