US EditionMarius Borg Høiby Rape Trial: Prosecution Asks for Seven Years' Jail for Norwegian Crown Princess's Son
Prosecutor demands seven years and seven months for Marius Borg Hoiby on 40 charges including multiple rapes and domestic abuse, amid a high-profile trial in Oslo.
- On March 18, prosecutors asked an Oslo court to sentence Marius Borg Hoiby, 29, stepson of Norway's crown prince, to seven years and seven months for raping four women and domestic abuse.
- The seven-week trial, due to end on Thursday, has presented evidence including Hoiby's drug addiction, self-made sexual videos, and more than 800 electronic messages entered into evidence.
- Lead prosecutor Sturla Henriksboe told the court he sought sentencing for the 40 charges against Hoiby, noting some rape counts involved victims asleep or unconscious and that 'He must not be sentenced for who he is, but for what he did.'
- Public attention has increased as the trial and Crown Princess Mette-Marit's apology have hurt the monarchy's popularity, according to opinion polls.
- Last week, Marius Borg Hoiby testified that media coverage made him 'an object of hatred' and caused anxiety and clinical depression, while earlier this year he faced new charges filed January 19.
