Oslo court delivers verdict on Norway's Crown Prince stepson in rape and abuse case

An Oslo court ruled on 40 criminal charges against Marius Borg Høiby, including four rape counts and multiple domestic violence allegations. Høiby denied all rape charges; prosecutors requested seven years and seven months — substantial by Norwegian standards. The case's complexity, including an alleged rape after arrest, may influence how Norwegian courts approach multi-complainant sexual offence prosecutions going forward.
