Police

Although I cannot speak to your specific situation, in many states, a person can be charged criminally for providing false information to police (or possibly to a prosecutor). I found the crime related to this under the STATE Criminal Code - see here:
[NOTE TO STUDENT: GOOGLE. “False reporting to authorities” OR “false report of crime” AND HER STATE AND SEE IFYOU FIND THE LAW - THEN GO TO WESTLAW TO GET THAT MOST UP TO DATE VERSION AND COPY AND PASTE IT HERE]

If a person submits false testimony in court or in a sworn court affidavit, it’s possible that the person may be accused/charged with perjury. However, I cannot say how active the police or prosecutors would be to go after someone for either of these charges. Perhaps you may want to get legal advice from a criminal defense attorney as to how your state may handle this if you are thinking of telling the police, prosecutor or judge that you provided false information. Here is a link for lawyers if you want to try to get some specific advice: LINK

Also, although I do not know if this applies to you, often times within a domestic violence situation, the abusive partner may make the victim feel guilty for reporting the abuse and for any consequences that happen to the abuser. The abuser may try to turn the situation around and make the victim feel that s/he is wrong, “crazy,” or make him/her feel that she overreacted and that the abuse didn’t happen the way it was reported. The abuser and/or his/her attorney may even pressure the victim into recanting (taking back) his/her testimony or report of the abuse without caring about any possible repercussions for the victim. Pressuring someone to drop charges or take back allegations of abuse can actually be a crime itself, called something like “intimidation of a witness” or “obstruction of justice” - it may also be violating a protection order if one exists. If any of what I have described applies to your situation, you may want to contact a local domestic violence organization for support and help: LINK
