Yes, but only if it has not gone through court, and it is dropped by the one who accused them. If you were abused don't drop the charge, because they will do it again, get help, you DO NOT deserve to get abused.

Assuming that you mean the charges were originally taken by the victim and dropped by or at the request of the victim, Then if the state (in GA at least) motions to prosecute (typically domestics) on behalf of the state, then the charges stand and the victim takes on the role of victim/witness in stead of victim/complainant.
