Jail for people awaiting trial is much different than jail for those who've had trial and were deemed guilty (at least where I live). It's not as bad as you might think, and I think it's worth it to put a possibly dangerous offender behind bars. The good of many outweighs the good of one.
And as with all media articles, there's probably more than meets the eye here. For all we know this might be in part to protect her from the guy's friends until the trial is over.
