Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

child's father facing vop for new law violation but it's my fault
I am the victim in a domestic vioence case against my child's father who was on probation and was subsequently violated on the new charges. his vop hearing is soon and i want to drop the charges and tell everyone that i really started the altercation which resulted in me having a busted lip and a small laceration on my neck. i am pregnant and afraid but i had some jealousy issues and wanted him to go to jail so when the police asked me if he jumped on me i told them yes because they basically told me that if i didnt then they would take me to jail instead so i told them what i thought they wanted to hear to keep myself out of trouble and now he is facing about 5 or 6 felonies and a 15-year probation violation. im scared the state will press charges on me, but i want to do what is right. is the jugde allowed to violate him at his vop hearing even before he is tried? his hearing is b/f his trial date. what can i do to get him out out this mess w/o getting myself into too much trouble? he was violated and reinstated a year ago when he failed a urinalysis due to me placing a small amount of a controlled substance in his food. i told the truth about it under oath and the state did not press charges against me & reinstated his probation

I don't think the State Attorney will believe your injuries were self inflicted. You need to talk to the State Attorney.
