I don't think that's true. There are various things he could be charged with if there is evidence of physical violence, even if she doesn't want to give any sort of statement or press charges herself.
I also think its a pretty shot attitude to say she "probably won't" want to press charges, although I accept the point about it potentially getting worse if she doesn't.
