When someone presses charges against you, it often starts with a call to the police or a formal complaint. Police officers or law enforcement agents will investigate the alleged crime. This may involve gathering evidence, speaking to witnesses, and obtaining police reports.
A criminal case typically starts when the prosecution (usually a district attorney) files charges in court. This is called a Complaint. A Complaint says what crimes someone is charged with. The prosecutor files a Complaint after reviewing a police report. This describes the typical way charges are filed.
If the charges are dismissed without prejudice, the prosecution can refile the case against you but it must be done within the statute of limitations for that particular offense.
Many people think that a victim can drop the charges, but this is not true. You may still have to go to court, and the case may continue on to trial even though the alleged victim doesnt want to pursue charges.
Statutes of Limitations in Federal Criminal Cases Federal law establishes a general statute of limitations that says someone charged with a non-capital federal offense must be indicted within 5 years after the offense was committed, unless the law says otherwise.

In California, if you are in custody and no charges have been filed within three court (business) days you will be released, but charges can still be filed later. There can be many reasons why a case is not filed by the court date but filed later. The prosecutor or law enforcement may need additional investigation.
However, a charge does not imply guilt; instead, it marks the beginning of a legal process where your rights and liberties are at stake. On the other hand, a conviction occurs when the court has found you guilty, either through a plea or a trial.
