More details to this question:
Original charge was sex offence 2nd degree. They know he is not guilty so they offered him felony assault with 1 year probation and lower to assault in 1 year. Probation recommended a much stiffer sentence that wasn't agreed on and the judge got very angry and let him withdraw his plea. Judge told the new prosecutor to get this to trial fast because it's been in the courts for almost 2 years.

If the plea is withdrawn, the case goes back to the status it had before the guilty plea, that is, the defendant is facing all the original charges and will go to trial.
