I am asking FREEPERS if there is another way put this guy away without involving the victim?

The Constitution give the defendant the right to be confronted by his accuser.

It's certainly understandable that your friends sister doesn't want the humiliation. Perhaps your friend can help support her in what I consider a moral act of courage.

I agree completely.

I can't imagine why they wouldn't press charges, but it is her wish.

Something else, though, it's I suppose I should have mentioned in my original post: he does not deny the claim. He admitted it! He has been apolgizing to my friend's mother, and trying to get her back. He even tried to place a call to the victim to beg her forgiveness.
