In October 2013, Adams' brother Liam was found guilty of 10 offences, including rape and gross indecency committed against his own daughter. After the allegations of abuse were first made public in a 2009 UTV programme, Gerry Adams alleged that his father had subjected family members to emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. On 27 November 2013, Liam was jailed for 16 years. Liam died of pancreatic cancer in February 2019 at the age of 63 while in Maghaberry Prison.
