In Arizona and many other states, the alleged victim does not need to agree with a prosecution for it to go forward. Often, when an alleged victim changes her/his story, the prosecutor will use the statement in the police report to "impeach" the alleged victim at trial. So, the short of it is that your boyfriend could still be charged.
