Not really.They'd have to find something would they.
If he's guilty, lock him up, but assumptions in criminal cases bug me.

Well yes,but the issuing od a search warrant does not implicitly imply that charges will follow does it? They might well, but it doesn't pay to assume.
*edit* Should have clicked that really. Doesn't invalidate the argument though. If he's done it I hope they lock him up for a long time. */edit*

typicallyin the US, at least, if you issue a search warrant then there are strong pre-existing allegations. i'd agree that 'assume' is a nasty word, but from the reports coming out yesterday over here it would appear that they thought they'd be moving towards an arrest warrant shortly. there's to be a press conference mid-day PST.
according to court tv it's already been issued:

See above edit.I'm not really defending him as such, just the principle of innocent until proven guilty.
