If you were assaulted and did not press charges at the time, you may still be able to do so months later. However, it will be more difficult to get the case prosecuted.

*The police will need to agree to investigate the case. *The prosecutor may decline to press charges, especially if it has been a long time since the assault. *The defendant will likely argue that you had a motive for pressing charges months later, such as extortion. *The jury may be less likely to believe you if you changed your mind about pressing charges. *It is generally not advisable to press charges months later, unless there is a good reason to do so.
