Marius Borg Høiby, the 28-year-old son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit, has been formally charged with 32 criminal offenses after a lengthy police investigation. The charges, announced on Monday by Norwegian prosecutors, include four counts of rape and multiple acts of violence and assault against several victims.
The case has been building since August 2024, when Høiby was first arrested on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend. Police found evidence of the alleged crimes through text messages, witness statements, and searches of digital material. Høiby previously admitted to causing bodily harm to a woman while under the influence of cocaine and alcohol, expressing regret for his actions at the time.
