An arrest warrant has been issued for Nathan Gallagher, a former participant on the reality television series Below Deck Mediterranean, following his failure to appear at a scheduled court hearing in Sydney. The 28-year-old, originally from County Donegal in Ireland, is facing multiple criminal charges related to an alleged domestic incident involving his former partner and co-star, Gael Cameron.

The legal proceedings were set to take place at Burwood Local Court before Judge Janine Lacy. During the session, prosecutors informed the court that they believed Gallagher had left Australia, prompting them to request that the case proceed in his absence. Immigration records reviewed by the judge confirmed that Gallagher was currently overseas, leading to his conviction in absentia and the subsequent issuance of the warrant.

Background of the Charges and Legal Status

The charges against Gallagher stem from an incident that reportedly occurred on December 26, 2025, at an apartment complex in the Sydney suburb of Melrose Park. Following his arrest on December 27, 2025, Gallagher was charged with one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, one count of common assault, and one count of intentionally choking a person without consent. He was initially granted conditional bail on December 28, 2025, after entering a plea of not guilty to all charges.
