I live in IL. My roommate filed charges against her boyfriend for theft and domestic violence 2 weeks ago. He was released from the DuPage County Jail 2 days ago and is now coming to the house to visit her.
The case is still open, they are scheduled to go to court on September 3, 2008. She has done this before with him, filed charges against him, he goes to jail, but dropped the charges at the last minute when they went to the court date. Therefore the police and the district attorney have stated that if she didn't follow through with it this time they where going to charge her for filing false charges. Can they seriously do this to her? What are the charges and/or penalties she would be facing?
