You're asking if somebody unlawfully enters your house can then sue you or get some sort of criminal charges against you because they watched you have sex or masturbate? Seriously?

Generally, no. Masturbation and consensual sex between adults are not crimes. But if the sex act the intruder sees is a forcible rape and/or involves an adult and a minor, then it is a crime. The intruder could report it, though he would risk being prosecuted for burglary or other crimes related to entering your house.
