Re: false reports
Tell the DA that you want to drop the charges and see what the DA says. If you are prosecuted for filing false reports you don't have to plea guilty. If the original complaint was true, but you later decided that you didn't want the Commonwealth to prosecute your boyfriend, what are you guilty of? You did not file a false report. Why would you plea guilty to something that you didn't do? The DA may just be trying to scare you into testifying against your boyfriend. Be firm in your stance with the DA.
