Get a lawyer ASAP to represent you and, NO, the alleged victim
has no determinative say-so as to whether a criminal charge will be dropped, once the charge has been filed. That decision lies with
the local prosecutor's office which in light of your previous conviction
in a similar matter would be unlikely to be inclined to drop anything
(in my opinion).
