Re: crimnal law
Not necessarily. If you do not already have an attorney, you should hire one to defend you. The attorney might be able to persuade the state's attorney to dismiss the case, but, the state's attorney can subpoena witnesses and compel them to testify. It is up to the state's attorney, not the victim or any witness. Hire an attorney.

It could ... but it doesn't have to. The State makes the decision whether to press charges and not the victim.
