The alleged incidents involve one woman and occurred between 2022 and 2024.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman stated: “Paul Gallagher, 59, of 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. The offences are reported to have taken place between 2022-2024. The charges follow an investigation that commenced in 2024. A woman is being supported by specially trained officers.”
Paul resides in a flat purchased by Noel in 2004 and works as a DJ and photographer. He describes his life as ordinary among the lower middle classes and prefers to remain out of the spotlight, staying “invisible.”

At the 2026 BRIT Awards held at Manchester’s Co-op Live arena, Noel, 58, received the Songwriter of the Year award. Introduced by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, he publicly thanked his brother Liam, 53, crediting him and former Oasis bandmates for his success.
Noel declared: “Yes, Manchester! I’m gonna start by saying I’ve got to thank my brother. And Bonehead, Guigsy and Andy and Gem. Without them I’d just be a singer-songwriter and nobody gives a s*** about singer-songwriters.” He rallied the crowd with: “Up the f****** blues.”
