No victim no testimony you have the right to face your accuser
In The Crucible, Mary Warren changes her testimony because of the mockery from some of the girls. She knew that if she didn't change her testimony, she would be the next victim to be accused of witchcraft.
There is no legal action of the sort referred to. The victim of a crime may choose not to give voluntary testimony as evidence at a trial, but they do not have the power to request that charges be dismissed. In most cases a victim can be forced to give testimony and if necessary the PA can request to have such testimony entered into the court record as being given by a "hostile or unco-operative witness".
It depends on the circumstances and the requirements of the court. In some cases, the victim may be required to appear in court to provide testimony and evidence. However, in other situations, the victim's written statement or previous testimony may be sufficient. It is best to consult with the relevant authorities or a legal professional for specific guidance.
Usually, a victim has very little input in determining a criminal's sentence. However - a judge will have read or heard testimony from the victim during the trial, and will take their statements into account when passing sentence.
You mention, lack of evidence, and lack of witnesses. BUT - you don't mention the lack of a victim/complainant. You CAN be convicted on the testimony of victim alone.

yes for their testimony and for cross-examination during questioning.
This is questionable. Technically, by the Constitution you cannot be convicted if no evidence exists, however there are some crimes for which no evidence beyond victim/witness testimony is required. Testimony can be fabricated. It would be up to your defense attorney to strongly refute any such tesitmony.
