How much time do you have to press charges for assult.

[Fr_Chuck]

There will be a statue of limitation for the exact charge that may apply. ** there are many levels of assult some a felony, some not.

Next why was it not reported the day or next day after it happened?

And why ( and I will assume) after some time do they want to press charges now.

But at least here for some simple assult, it may be a year, for some more serious it could be three years.

The longer they go from the date it happened, the harder the case will be to prove

Hello cow:

If you mean you as in YOU personally, like how long do you have to call the cops after an assault.. If THAT'S what you mean, you have only a day or two. Any longer than that, the cops are going to suspect you are reporting them for some OTHER reason, and the assault charge won't stick.

If you mean how long do the COPS have to charge you, the Padre answered your question.
