The son of Norway’s crown princess pleads not guilty to rape charges as his trial opens in Oslo
Marius Borg Høiby faces 38 charges including four alleged rapes between 2018 and 2024 and drug offenses; prosecutors say he could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
- On Tuesday, the trial opened in Oslo as Marius Borg Høiby, 29, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, faces 3.5 kilos of marijuana and other charges, scheduled to last until March 19.
- The indictment shows the case centers on four alleged rapes between 2018 and November 2024 and alleged violence, while police say Høiby was arrested again Sunday after his August indictment.
- Høiby’s defense says he `denies all charges of sexual abuse` and disputes most violence allegations, while the court said parts of the trial will be held behind closed doors.
- The royal house announced it will not comment or attend the trial, and the Oslo district court on Monday granted a detention order for up to four weeks.
- With Epstein files released on Friday, prosecutors say Høiby could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted, amid renewed scrutiny of Crown Princess Mette-Marit.
