No one pressed charges; that only happens in a criminal case, and Roe v. Wade was a civil case contesting an anti-abortion law in the State of Texas.

Roe (Norma McCorvey) was the plaintiff who brought the complaint (like pressing charges), and later petitioned the US Supreme Court to review the case.

Roe v. Wade, 410 US 113 (1973)

Can charges be dropped on Aggravated Assault if the victim does not show up in Tenneessee?

The answer is both yes and no. However, the chances are much greater if the complaintant does not present themselves in court. However, If the charges are being persued by the state, then the state has the ultimate option of moving to continue the case or moving to dismiss. In some states, if the charges were pressed by the complaintant and not the police and the complaintant does not appear, that is sufficient grounds to move for dismissal of the charges.
