## Summary

Russell Brand’s Instagram and Facebook accounts were deactivated days after he was sentenced to prison for rape and sexual assault. Screenshots posted on his X account showed notices saying the accounts had been disabled or suspended for breaching Meta’s community standards.

Brand was found guilty on 5 November of rape and three counts of sexual assault following a trial at London’s Southwark Crown Court. He received a sentence of 10 years and six months on 9 November and is being held at HMP Wandsworth while awaiting transfer; he has denied the charges and maintains his innocence. His X account remains active, and a post there thanked Elon Musk, who had criticised the sentence.
