There is a good chance that you will never be tried on this matter, since there is likely a problem with the case, such as an unreliable witness, or a witness who recanted or refuses to testify, etc. However, because it was without prejudice, charges *can* still be brought against you; while that is unlikely, you cannot count yourself safe yet.
