All beaten girlfriends want to reconcile and want the charge dropped; that means nothing. No one can force your girlfriend to file a restraining order, that did not happen. She has to swear everything in it is true under penalty of perjury.

Are you saying she committed perjury in it, and what she wrote is lies?

Are you saying it is true, but you did not want her to tell?

Have a lawyer petition the court for a finding of factual innocence.
