Marius Borg Høiby Convicted of Two Rapes, Sentenced to 4 Years

The court also ordered him to pay compensation to the victims, and prosecutors had sought more than 7 years in prison.

  • On Monday, the Oslo District Court sentenced Marius Borg Høiby to four years in prison after finding him guilty of two counts of rape, domestic violence, and other crimes.
  • The seven-week trial gripped the Nordic country, detailing Høiby's drug addiction, self-made videos of sexual encounters, and more than 800 electronic messages entered into evidence among 38 total charges.
  • Judges cleared Høiby of two additional rape counts, though Prosecutors had sought seven years and seven months while defense lawyers argued for just 18 months.
  • Crown Princess Mette-Marit faces difficult personal circumstances, including placement on the national lung transplant list, while the royal family's popularity fluctuated to 64 per cent support in May.
  • Prince Haakon stated last week that Høiby is "not part of the royal household," emphasizing his independence as a citizen of Norway, while lawyers are expected to appeal.
