Can the state's attorney drop charges or a case against a child molestor if the victim doesn't agree to it?
Yes. A prosecutor may Nolle Prosequi (decline to prosecute) a case if they believe the facts or evidence in the case do not (or are insufficient to) support a successful prosecution or, to do so, would result in a miscarriage of justice.
A Nolle Prosequi does not necessarily mean that they will NEVER consider prosecuting the alleged offense, it only means that the facts or evidence currently available are insufficient to carry out a prosecution.
Further: It is not a permanent ruling, and it does NOT trigger 'double jeopardy"
If additional information becomes available with which to bolster the case, it does not rule out the possibility that the same charges may be re-instituted against the defendant for the same offense.

If a person doesnt file a complaint can police do so?
In the United States, criminal charges against a defendant are brought by the state, not by victim(s) of the crime. While a victim may provide a statement to the police which leads to the alleged perpetrator being charged with a crime, it is the police, not the victim, who actually file the charges, and the district attorney, not the victim, who prosecute. Therefore, yes, the police can and sometimes do file charges even when the victim(s) of the alleged crime choose not to cooperate with the police. This happens, for example, in domestic violence cases, where the victim of the domestic violence may be cowed by an abusive partner or spouse into not pressing charges, but the police might still pursue them.
