Charged - A formal accusation of an offense which is the preliminary step to prosecution.

It does NOT mean "The Accused Person or Business" has been CONVICTED or found GUILTY of an illegal offense or crime.

More so, it IS an accusation by someone representing the law, most likely a police officer.

It DOES mean that the "The Accused Person or Business" will go before a court of law where a prosecutor - which is an attorney representing the Federal Government - will attempt to prove to the court that "The Accused Person or Business" is guilty of the said illegal offense or crime.
