From a strictly legal standpoint, that is incorrect.

A jury may disbelieve all or part of a witness' testimony, even if that witness is unopposed.

As a practical matter, the jury will be asking why no opposition. If it came to that, I would put the priest on the stand and lead him through the canon law on confessions. "So she can say anything at all - that she came to confession even if she didn't - that she told you something she never told you - and you are bound not to answer - cannot answer even if it costs you your life - "

Hopefully, the church will have competent legal counsel, and will pay no attention to your advice. Once the priest is put on the stand, he will be in far more jeopardy than he is now.
