Won't she have to testify, in some way, in any event? At that point, it doesn't matter what charges have been filed.

I saw an expert on child witnesses and their testimonies last night on the news. SHe said that it is better if the child/young teenager can testify in open court, that it is best for the case. But testimony can also been in the judge's chambers, or by videotape. It just depends on the judge's ruling, etc.
