noun
indictment without arrest; prosecution without physical restraint
A legal term for when a suspect is indicted but not taken into custody, remaining at home during proceedings. Not equivalent to 'house arrest' as a punishment; it refers to the pre-trial or procedural status.
彼は在宅起訴され、裁判中も自宅で過ごした。
He was indicted without arrest and spent the trial period at home.
In cases of indictment without arrest, the defendant can often continue their normal life.
