There is a big difference between being caught in the act and charged following an investigation.
Currently Europe is moving/has moved to an extreme position beyond common sense as it has done on several other issues based on "good intentions".
In some cases there is also a pressure to charge and go to trial just based on accusations (e.g. rape cases), which is another issue.

This is probably also an instance of a significant cultural difference. Continental Europe generally believes in rehabilitation, whereas the Anglosphere - and the US in particular - strike me more as having a vengeful justice system.
Public shaming of people at trial is incompatible with the belief in rehabilitation.
What is the "common sense" here? My common sense can't see really any benefits from publicizing the information.
You are still innocent at trial.
There's no good from this only witch hunts. Something more common more recently in the anglosphere too.

There's no good from this only figurative village mobs and witch hunts.
From my experience something culturally more common in the anglosphere too.
