In Virginia, the victim can request that assault and battery charges be dropped, but ultimately, the decision lies with the prosecutor. The state has the authority to pursue charges independently of the victim's wishes, especially in cases involving public safety. If the victim does not want to proceed, they can communicate this to law enforcement or the prosecutor, but it may not guarantee that the charges will be dismissed.
