Noel and Liam Gallagher's brother arrives in court charged with rape

Paul Gallagher, 59, arrived at Westminster Magistrates' Court this morning afte rbeing charged with rape, sexual assault, intentional strangulation and making threats to kill in July. The multiple charges follow an investigation which started last year and relate to alleged offences which happened between 2022 and 2024.

Gallagher, who is a year older than rocker brother Noel and seven years older than fellow musician Liam, lives in London and has nothing to do with Oasis. Instead, he's worked as a DJ and photographer.

Last month, a Metropolitan Police spokesperson told us: "Paul Gallagher, 59, of Manor Park Road, East Finchley, has been charged with rape, coercive and controlling behaviour, three counts of sexual assault, three counts of intentional strangulation, two counts of making a threat to kill and assault occasioning actual bodily harm."

They added, "The offences are reported to have taken place between 2022 and 2024. The charges follow an investigation that commenced in 2024. A woman is being supported by specially trained officers."
