Paul Gallagher Pleads Not Guilty to Rape and Related Charges With 2027 Trial Date Set

A judge scheduled the case for 13 September 2027, citing court listing pressures that will delay proceedings.

Overview

  • Gallagher, 59, of East Finchley and the older brother of Liam and Noel Gallagher, entered his pleas from the dock at Harrow Crown Court sitting at Southwark on Friday.
  • He denied rape and pleaded not guilty to 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.
  • The charge sheet states the alleged offences occurred between 2022 and 2024.
  • He was released on conditional bail ahead of a trial scheduled for 13 September 2027.
  • Judge Anupama Thompson apologised for the long wait and explained the delay was due to the volume of cases requiring listing.
