Usage of 'to be brought up on charges'

Hi,

When we say "she was brought up on charges of shoplifting", do we imply that she was successfully prosecuted and convicted, or that she was just charged, and was remanded to the county jail/released on her own reconizanse/released on bail pending trial?

Thanks!
