Yes, usually. The statute of limitations for assault is ordinarily at least a year or two (longer in some places, shorter in others, each place has its own law). During that time you could certainly go to the police and tell them about the assault and ask that charges be pressed.

Here's the thing: when you bring a case to the authorities, THEY ultimately get to choose whether the case will be pursued. If they don't think that they can make a case because you waited too long to come to them, or the evidence is no longer fresh, then you are out of luck, whether you want to press charges or not.

Also, remember that pressing charges isn't the only remedy. You could get a lawyer and pursue a civil case or get an order of protection.
