Netflix refuses to remove Russell Brand stand-up show following his rape and sexual assault conviction
- Netflix has hidden comedian Russell Brand's 2018 special "Re:Birth" from search results and recommendations following his sentencing on Monday to over 10 years in prison for rape and sexual assault.
- Southwark Crown Court sentenced Brand to 10 years and six months in prison after a four-week trial, where Mr Justice Bennathan described him as a "sexual predator" with a "casual and arrogant disregard" for consent.

- Despite the restriction, "Re:Birth" remains available for streaming; users can locate it by searching "British stand-up comedy" or misspelling the comedian's name rather than through direct search.
- Metropolitan Police are investigating two additional rape allegations against the comedian, while former girlfriend Jemima Goldsmith has accused him of "violence, coercive control and abuse.
