Burglary: Lying in a Witness Statement - Denying Previous Knowledge of Suspect

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida

What are the implications if a victim lies in a statement to the police during the identification of a burglary suspect? E.g. if during the both the photo lineup and the statement, the victim picks out a suspect and states that they have never seen a picture of the suspect or met the suspect before. If it then comes out that the suspect and the victim have met previously, is that bad for the overall case? Or, is the fact that they successfully identified the suspect enough since it's possible that the victim may have just forgotten that they met?
