Beyond Noel and Liam Gallagher, there’s another non-musical brother: Paul. The eldest Gallagher (he’s 59) is alleged to have committed offences between 2022 and 2024. There was an investigation last year. There apparently is just one woman at the centre of the case.

The charges include the following:

Rape
Coercive and controlling behaviour
Three counts of sexual assault
Three counts of intentional strangulation
Two counts of threatening to kill
Assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Paul Gallagher will appear in court August 27. A few more details here.
