The District Attorney has the authority to file or not. Without more information I would not be able to tell you why the DA hasn't filed. Typically it is due to a delay on their part in figuring out what is going on or they don't feel they have enough evidence to charge him with anything.

If you need any more help please let me know. I handle criminal cases in Southern California.

Get a lawyer involved as soon as possible. It does not look that the DA has filed charges so it might be possible to look into this matter proactively to see whether charges could be avoided or reduced.

Feel free to give me a call for a free consultation.
