Prosecutor Sought 7+ Years for Crown Princess's Son in Rape Conviction

Marius Borg Høiby, eldest son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, was convicted on 15 June of rape, assault, and abuse across 38 charges. Prosecutors sought more than seven years imprisonment—placing the case in Norway's upper sentencing tier for serious violent and sexual offences. The conviction marks an unprecedented moment for Norway's constitutional monarchy, though sentencing may still be appealed to the Supreme Court.
