Son of Norway’s Crown Princess Charged with 32 Counts Including Rape

  • Norwegian prosecutors indicted Marius Borg Hoiby, son of Norway's crown princess, on 32 charges including four rapes on Monday after a lengthy investigation.
  • The charges follow Hoiby's arrest on August 4, 2024, for allegedly assaulting a girlfriend and include violence, abuse, vandalism, and filming without consent.
  • Hoiby has acknowledged involvement in assault and property damage during the August 2024 incident, while his defense maintains that he takes the charges seriously but disputes most allegations, particularly those related to sexual abuse.
  • Oslo state attorney Sturla Henriksbø stated that Høiby could face up to 10 years in prison and emphasized that the offenses are extremely grave, with the potential to cause deep and enduring harm to victims.
  • The trial is estimated to begin in mid-January and last about six weeks, with Hoiby currently free pending trial and the royal palace deferring to the courts on the case.
