In much of the US, as soon as you're arrested, you're mug shot shows up in the local newspaper with the crime you are alleged to have committed.

And even if you luck out and don't get "doxed" as part of the arrest, you will be outed as soon as your formally charged.

So, no, at least in the US, privacy is not retained until conviction.

K. And what legal apparatus was involved with assembling and publicizing the accusations arrayed against this individual?
