He should hire counsel to navigate this. There are mitigating circumstances and defensible issues to be raised. Additionally, there are ways to address her "not showing up". That doesn't guarantee a dismissal - it depends on the evidence, the other issues,...lots of things which an experienced attorney in this area can help navigate.
