Norway's Crown Princess Son Faces Verdict on 38 Rape and Violence Charges

Oslo District Court rules June 15 on Marius Borg Høiby, who denies four rape counts and 34 other charges from 2018 to 2024. The Crown Princess Mette-Marit's son was arrested in August 2024. Norway's rape law carries a maximum sentence of 21 years. The sheer volume—38 charges across multiple complainants—is unusually large for a single case.
