He hasn't been officially charged.
Yes he has - a warrant has been issued by a judge.

The whole reason this mess happened was because the guy he got in a fight with tried to rape my fiances sister at a party. They were both drunk when they faught.
He will have to go to court to make the defense.

This warrant will not go away. It will limit access to many decent jobs, government assistance, loans of all kinds, and SSI so long as it exists. He will also risk further detentions and even arrests by the police until he surrenders on the warrant or manages to get an attorney to arrange for a surrender, bail, and release. In any event he will have to return to CA to take care of the matter ... some day he may very well be compelled to come back.
