Can Charges be filed months after the victim tells the police they don't want to file charges at the time of the crime?

It depends on the crime, the state, and the statute of limitations. For a number of misdemeanors, the statute of limitations is just 30 days. Depending on the jurisdiction and type of crime, it might not matter if the victim wants the charges filed or not. It isn't up to them in those areas and situations. For instance, domestic violence is one where the victims usually don't have a choice in filing. The crime is considered to be against the state, not just the victim.
