What will happen if I am a trustee and somehow got my personal accounts mixed up with the trust account therefore it resulted in my using money?

I got the 2 ATM cards mixed up. It was an honest mistake and I ended up owing the trust around $20,000 I have repaid almost all of it and will repay every penalty. is it likely the victim will try to bring criminal charges against me?As I said, it was not done intentionally, just my incompetence.
