Hello,

All JTS geometries are implicitly (because the library handles nothing
else) cartesian 2D. JTS does nothing with the third coordinate but keep
track of it---it could just as easily be a temperature as a height. 

JTS therefore does not deal with CRS information. It does have a field
to keep track of SRID but that's generally not used. 

In order to work with CRS's you will have to work with the geoapi
interfaces and the geotools implementation. You will have to figure out
what the coordinates you have actually mean and define a CRS for the
coordinates (or use a pre-defined CRS in the geotools
org.geotools.referencing.CRS.java class in the referencing module). 

So, no, you cannot go from JTS to a CRS since JTS generally doesn't keep
track of that information and certainly using the CRS'es used by the
rest of geotools. 

hope that helps,
