In this case probably not, though public pressure may have been a part of it. And MITs statement was less clear on that matter. However, this is not for the prosecution to decide. The prosecution should treat each case equal. If criminal charges haven been brought forward, they must be prosecuted or dismissed solely based on evidence, not based on the victims actions.
Please note that I do not think that the way the prosecution pushed the charges was right.
