A:
You can call the DA's office and ask to speak to the prosecutor assigned to his case. If they can prove that he did something that caused you pain then he can go back to the penitentiary... and your statements are evidence.
A false report to a peace officer is also a crime but it can be hard to prosecute, especially in DV cases. The maximum penalty is 6 months in county jail, not state prison. If you lied to the police you should fess up to it rather than letting an innocent person go to prison.
