Overview
- Gallagher was convicted in his absence at Burwood Local Court on Tuesday, Sept. 1, and the judge issued a warrant for his arrest after prosecutors told the court immigration records showed he was overseas.
- The charges stem from a Dec. 27, 2025 arrest in Sydney that accused Gallagher of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, choking without consent and common assault.
- New South Wales Police released Gallagher’s mugshot on social media and asked the public for help locating him while warning people not to approach him because he is believed to be offshore.
- Court records show an Apprehended Violence Application was filed on behalf of Gael Cameron, who attended the hearing to give evidence and is identified in reports as the alleged victim and mother of Gallagher’s child.
- Gallagher has publicly said he holds contemporaneous video and messages that he says provide context to the incident, and the case now raises questions about how Australian and Irish arrest warrants will be enforced and whether extradition proceedings will follow.
