I guess they don't use publication bans much in the US, if at all. They are considered a violation of the First Amendment right to free speech. Instead, they use a grand jury in the preliminary process.
SBM.
Last I heard, there was a publication ban in place for the James Holmes (Aurora, CO theater shooter) trial - as an example. So, they're used. (Just not as stringently.) But no, not very common.
