The son of Norway’s crown princess charged with 32 offenses, including four counts of r*pe.
Marius Borg Høiby will likely stand trial at the beginning of 2026 and is facing up to 10 years in prison if found guilty.
The 28-year-old is the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit and stepson of the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Haakon.
Høiby is accused of assaulting four women between 2018 and 2024 while they slept and allegedly filmed them during the r*pes.
“All the alleged assaults allegedly took place after consensual intercourse while the women were sleeping,” the Guardian reported.
He is also charged with domestic abuse against a former partner, violence, disturbing the peace, vandalism, and violation of restraining orders.
“The fact that Marius Borg Høiby is a member of the royal family should, of course, not mean that he should be treated more lightly or more severely than if similar acts had been committed by others,” said public prosecutor Sturla Henriksbo.
“Our client denies all charges of s*xual abuse, as well as the majority of the charges regarding violence. He will present a detailed account of his version of events before the court,” said Høiby’s lawyer.
