Brother of Oasis Frontmen Is Charged With Rape in Britain
Mr. Gallagher, 59, was reported to the police in London last year and the charges were announced on Monday.
He is accused of rape, three counts of sexual assault, three counts of intentional strangulation, two counts of making a threat to kill, assault causing actual bodily harm and coercive and controlling behavior, London's Metropolitan Police Service said in a statement.
The force said the offenses were reported to have taken place between 2022 and 2024, and a woman was being supported by specially-trained officers.
Mr. Gallagher, who lives in the East Finchley district of London, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Aug. 27.
He is not a part of the rock band Oasis, which is currently conducting a highly-anticipated international tour. The band is playing a series of dates in London, and will travel to Scotland and Ireland before starting the North American leg of the tour in late August.
Mr. Gallagher coauthored a 1997 book, titled 'Brothers: From Childhood to Oasis — The Real Story,' giving his account of his childhood and family life in Manchester.

Arson attack victim describes horror inside Hallandale Beach apartment her ex-boyfriend allegedly sets on fire
The victim of an alleged arson attack took CBS News Miami through the horrifying moments inside her apartment in Hallandale Beach earlier this week. Her boyfriend is charged with setting the fire. Yulianela Alvarez was shaking as she spoke to CBS News Miami. She said never in her life did she think her ex-boyfriend would set her apartment on fire with her inside it, but she also shares that this was not the first time he's threatened her. "If I didn't wake up, I would be dead," Alvarez told CBS News Miami. Alvarez said she was lying in bed and opened her eyes to flames all around her. "I just looked around and happened to open my eyes, and the fire was all around," she said. "It was just so fast — it was on the ceiling and everything. And I just ran outside." Alvarez told CBS News Miami ex-boyfriend, 30-year-old Paul Hough, has threatened her before. "I woke up and he was threatening me outside, but he had broken the windows before," she said. "He had been breaking my windows. I look — he's right there — but I don't know how he started it." Alvarez told CBS News Miami she thought he would leave. Instead, he intentionally set the apartment on fire, Hallandale Beach Police said. Once Hough was identified as the suspected arsonist, police found him at a nearby McDonald's and took him into custody. CBS News Miami previously obtained video showing the moments of his arrest. Hough appeared before a judge on Saturday. "You've been charged with arson in the first-degree of a dwelling or building with people present, possession of cocaine, robbery by sudden snatching without a firearm or weapon, assault [and] burglary of an occupied structure unarmed," the judge said. Alvarez told CBS News Miami she is now left with nothing. "I lost everything," she said. "What is not burned — it's smoke damage. I can't take anything out of there." Hough is currently booked at the Broward County Main Jail on a $23,000 bond. During his court appearance, the judge also ordered him to have a mental and medical screening done as part of his bail requirements.

Epstein confidante Ghislaine Maxwell transferred to lower-security prison in Texas
Ghislaine Maxwell, the associate of Jeffrey Epstein who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex-trafficking crimes, has been transferred from a federal prison in Florida, to a lower-security facility in Texas, the US Bureau of Prisons said on Friday. 'We can confirm, Ghislaine Maxwell is in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Bryan, Texas,' a spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons said in a statement. Maxwell's attorney, David Oscar Markus, also confirmed the transfer but declined further comment. FPC Bryan is described as a 'minimum security federal prison camp' that houses 635 female inmates. According to the Bureau of Prisons' inmate locator, the Texas facility is also home to Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced former CEO of the California-based blood-testing company Theranos, who is serving a lengthy sentence for fraud. Real Housewives of Salt Lake City TV star Jen Shah is also serving time there for fraud. Maxwell's move from FCI Tallahassee, a low-security prison, to the federal prison camp in Bryan comes roughly a week after she was interviewed in Florida over two days about the Epstein case by the deputy US attorney general, Todd Blanche, who is also one of Donald Trump's former lawyers. Related: Virginia Giuffre wanted Epstein documents made public, siblings say Blanche had said that he wanted to speak with Maxwell – who was sentenced in 2022 for sex trafficking and other related crimes – to see if she might have 'information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims'. Details of that meeting have not been made public but Maxwell's lawyer described it as 'very productive', adding that Maxwell answered the questions 'honestly, truthfully, to the best of her ability'. The interview took place amid growing political and public pressure on the Trump administration to release additional federal documents related to the Epstein case – a case which has, for years, been the subject of countless conspiracy theories. Earlier in July, the justice department drew bipartisan criticism and backlash after announcing that it would not be releasing any more documents from the investigation into the late Epstein, who died in prison in New York in 2019 while awaiting federal trial. This was despite earlier pledges to release more files, by the US president and the US attorney general, Pam Bondi. Last week, the House of Representatives committee on oversight and government reform subpoenaed Maxwell to testify via deposition later this month. In response, Maxwell's lawyer sent a letter to lawmakers this week stating that Maxwell was willing to testify but only if certain conditions are met, including being granted immunity. In that same letter, Maxwell also made a plea for clemency. But on Friday, the House indefinitely postponed that deposition. Meanwhile, Maxwell has petitioned the US supreme court to overturn her conviction.
