Domestic Violence Question

I have been charged with domestic violence in Ohio. The charge is misdemeanor of the 4th degree. I am on supervised O.R and have cooperated with that. These charges have been pending since October. I have been to court twice after being arraigned, and the so called "Victim" has not shown up either time. He told me when he filed the police report, that he had some sorta mark or something, that they took pictures of. How could they prove I even gave him that mark? I never touched him. I have never been in trouble before, and my question is, What is going to happen the next time I go? Will the charges get dropped if the victim doesn't show up? What will happen if he does show up? I have e-mails from the victim telling me he still loves me that were sent after I was arrested and after the judge ordered there to be no contact between us. I was wondering if those e-mails will help my case if I bring them to court? I am just very stressed because I am not a troublemaker by any means and this is all very new and scary to me. Any help or answers you all can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try speaking to the DA. They have the right to continue to pursue the case on their own (even if you don't want them to) but if they feel this was a one-time incident and will never happen again--they may drop it. They want to make sure no abuse is continuing if and when you two are back together.

I understand that, but is it likely that they will? I have had no contact and do not wish to contact the "victim", my ex boyfriend, at all since we broke up. The only contact made was by him e-mailing me which I didn't respond to. We both have moved on with our lives and are with new people so is that something I should tell them?
