Depends on the type of case. In some cases the defense can argue that as the victim doesn't wish to turn up they are therefore forfeting the case. In other cases the police may choose to take the case to court even without the victim if there is sufficent evidence to do so.

Plaintiff? Do you mean the Victim? Plaintiff is used in civil cases.

If the victim was the only witness to the crime then the state may not have enough evidence to proceed further.
