Well I am sure that the defendant has an attorney. If he/she doesn't, there is something wrong here. This question should be directed to the attorney.

I would need to know what role the 15 year old plays in this scenario, is he the alleged victim or just a witness? Either way, the prosecutor would want to find out why they're recanting and make a decision how to proceed after the interview. It could result in a dismissal of the charges, but on the other hand the prosecutor may feel they are able to proceed without the testimony.

Please contact me if you have any other questions.

Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-
