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.

People have been convicted without proper evidence. The accusation should be investigated; perhaps you did have a gun and fear a conviction based solely on her testimony.

This is why you need a lawyer.
