US EditionSon of Norway Crown Princess to Stand Trial for Allegedly Raping 4 Women
- In early February, Marius Borg Hoiby, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, goes on trial in Oslo district court, starting on Tuesday, with proceedings scheduled until March 19 and facing multiple charges.
- Police arrested him on Aug. 4, 2024 after an alleged assault, and phone evidence led Norwegian police to uncover further suspected offences including a recent six‑count addition and a serious narcotics offence.
- Charges show four counts of rape and 28 other crimes, many filmed on his phone; Borg Høiby admitted assaulting Rebecca Helberg Arntsen in a drink-and-drug-fuelled attack on August 4th, 2024.
- A verdict is expected several weeks after March 19, with up to 16 years in prison; Crown Prince Haakon said `We are thinking a lot about all the parties concerned in this case` and the royal couple will not attend.
- Critics warn the case raises questions about palace‑state interactions and past blind eyes, as an NRK poll shows 70 percent support for the monarchy, according to historian Trond Noren Isaksen.
