Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

business partner scheme...

Went into business in 2005. Business partener was incharge of all bills, cc, most of the ordering, vendor relations, etc. We were paying the cc back, (about 30K total), and she planned to pay all off with a HELOC on HER home with out telling me. She could not refinance, and wanted to claim fraud on 2 cards. We had them for nearly 2 years. I got papers form the cc companies asking me to sign to confirm fraud. I did not. Now I am being accused of fraudulently opening these accounts and racking up these charges by my former partner. Both cc had issued cards in BOTH of our names, and she use both cards from the different cc compaines. I have been harrassed by detective friends of hers and now a DA is breathing down my back to come in and talk. I have emails from her telling me to sign the papers, and threatening me if I dont. Now what? I feel like I am in the twilight zone. HELP
