The entire premise of your question is faulty to begin with.

Victims cannot decide whether to 'press charges' or not. Only the state has the ability to press charges, especially in a case such as you describe which involves a felony assault.

Therefore: it is the state which chooses whether or not to prosecuite you and the victim has no say in the matter.
