You need to talk to a lawyer since your retraction of the statement may likely result in filing a false police report and you can be prosecuted for that. So do not make any statement to the cops or anyone unless you talk to a lawyer.

Prosecutors will never drop charges just because the victim has had a change of heart/story. The fact is, in 95% of all DV cases the parties reconcile, and prosecutors are well aware of this. He needs a good lawyer.

Why did you do that? Not only can he be charged with a crime, but you could be charged for filing a false police report. You need to come clean and tell the truth to the police and to the prosecutor before this goes any farther and gets completely out of hand.

He could be arrested for domestic violence. If you gave a false statement to the police, you can be charged with filing a false police report.
