Yes. A sentence of PROBATION, is simply a non-jail sentence. While on probation you are subject to any restrictions that the court might place on you. Those restrictions will be enforced by a parole and probation agent. If you violate any of those restrictions, you will be taken back into police custody and forced to serve out the jail time that the judge originally ordered but placed on hold pending your successful completion of probation.

Being charged with the crime is a formal accusation by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS- In England and Wales) that you have committed a crime.

Same principle however. *It certainly does not mean you are guilty, and everyone is innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
