I watch a lot of true crime shows and there appears to be a lot of cases where victims decide not to follow through with testifying against their attackers, merely because of their fear of being in the room with them. This seems to be particularly common in cases of sexual assault. Can’t they just not have the accused attacker not appear in court when the victim testifies?

As horrible as it is sometimes peopel lie about being victims. That is why we have trials. To determine who is telling the truth. In a trial the accused has the right to defend themselves aginst the peopel who say they broke the law. It’s not a perfect system but it’s about as good as it can be.
