A city councilman was arraigned Friday on charges that he raped and assaulted a woman in his office just hours after they met in a bar.He's not a rapist, ya'll! Just a philanderer!
Councilman Dennis Gallagher, a married father of two, turned himself in after a grand jury came back with the 10-count indictment on rape and assault charges. In testimony before the grand jury this week, he acknowledged an encounter with the 52-year-old woman but said it was consensual.
Gallagher, elected to the council in 2001, is one of three Republicans in the 51-member body.Of course he is.
