If the victim doesn't press charges but is issued to come to court, will you be punished?

If you are the victim, you only have to appear if they subpoena you into court. Then if you do not show up they can arrest you.

Contrary to popular opinion, once someone makes a police report whether the prosecutor charges the person accused or not is completely out of their hands. Once the police have been told someone did something, even if they take that back it may not stop the prosecutor from going forward on the case. Obviously, people do stupid things in the heat of an argument or when they are hurt or scared. For instance, they may call the cops to get someone whom they're mad at in trouble. They may exaggerate or make up a story. Later on they cool down and wish they never did it. Now they ant to find a way to take it back. Too late. If the accuser has been subpoenaed (properly served by personal delivery) to go to court, they have to go. They are then put in an untenable position where they either have to repeat the lies they told the cops or admit they were lying. Either way, they risk getting in trouble. The accuser needs to talk to a lawyer. Yes you have to go. No you shouldn't give a statement.

Need more details. If you are summoned to court an do not appear then you are in trouble.

If you have a summons to appear in court and you do not appear or have a representative present for you, a default judgment will be entered against you most likely. You cannot simply make a statement to the police to avoid going to court because the district attorney, not the police, decide whether or not to drop charges.

If you have been subpoenaed to court, you need to go.

If you do not show, a bench warrant will be issued for your arrest and you will see jail time. The victims wishes are only one element in the prosecutor's decision in charge you. He will look at the other supporting evidence. The charge will not just go away.

Violating a subpoena order is a punishable crime. The violation itself may or may not be punished. Depends on the decision of the party issuing the subpoena.
