Norway crown princess’ son jailed for 4 years for rape
Prosecutors had sought more than 7 years, but the Oslo court convicted him on two rape counts and ordered compensation for several victims.
- On Monday, the Oslo District Court sentenced Marius Borg Hoiby 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 Hoiby's drug addiction, self-made videos of sexual encounters, and more than 800 electronic messages entered into evidence among 38 total charges.
- Judges cleared Hoiby 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 Hoiby is "not part of the royal household," emphasizing his independence as a citizen of Norway, while lawyers are expected to appeal.
