There is, but there is a difference between not admitting you’ve broken a law and impeding an investigation into whether you broke the law or destroying evidence.
The particulars are going to be very important in this case. It’s also possible they have no case and they’ll just use the legal system to torture him, ruin his life, and waste his money then drop the charges before it ever sees a judge.
