Yes, you can still be charged. Being convicted, of course, is another matter. Many cases of sexual assault charges involve "he said/she said". When charges are filed it is up to a jury to determine who is telling the truth. You were smart to not meet with the detective without a lawyer present. You should speak with a lawyer to discuss the situation.
