I'm not sure how you could prove any of this or predict how it is going to shake out. There's not much to work with here. If your friend lied, why would the cops think he's now telling the truth, if that's what he decides to do? They're not likely to appreciate being lied to by someone who's willing to throw a woman to the dogs to save his own skin.
