Cases of this type are difficult as they often are decided on the basis of which person that makes the best impression on the judge or jury. If there are any bruises or other marks that support the complainants statements it is probable she will be believed.

I can hardly believe you haven't retained an attorney to represent you in all of this. Whether such info can stick if handled properly, you need to properly defend yourself from such actions. This will follow you through your entire life.
