Most probably. The fact is that alternative sentencing programs such as pre-trial diversion have certain conditions that must be met in order for their successful completion. Universally the one condition that is imposed is that the probationer not be charged with any further criminal offense(s). At this point, you need to contact a defense attorney to help you with this. You are not only facing the violation of your probation but you are also facing the new charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
