Can having sex a week before period cause it to be late?

Possibly: Particularly if you are pregnant. Other factors can influence your cycle, but the most likely is that you may be pregnant.

No, but...: Having sex 1 week before a period should not change the timing of the period. However, if a woman ovulated late that month, and then got pregnant a week before the time she would otherwise be getting her period, then her period won't come. Sometimes, a period just comes late for no special reason.
