Norway royal’s stepson Marius Borg Høiby charged with multiple rapes

The eldest son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit and stepson of the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Haakon, Marius Borg Høiby is facing serious charges of multiple counts of rape, sexual assault, and bodily harm. This comes after a month-long investigation following Høiby’s multiple arrests in 2024. Oslo Police Attorney Andreas Kruszewski confirmed that the number of victims is in the “double-digits.”

The charges against Høiby include one case of rape with intercourse, two cases of rape without intercourse, four cases of sexual assault, and two cases of bodily harm. Kruszewski mentioned that the 28-year-old Høiby was cooperative during police questioning.

The Oslo Police District conducted a thorough investigation, including a large number of witness interviews, several searches, and a review of extensive digital material.

Høiby’s attorney, Petar Sekulic, stated that his client does not acknowledge any wrongdoing, particularly in the cases involving sexual abuse and violence. The Royal House of Norway mentioned that the case is proceeding through the legal system, with no further comments at this time.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Høiby’s attorney for additional comments, and the palace has yet to respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital.

The gravity of these charges against a member of the Norwegian royal family has sparked significant public interest and concern. The legal proceedings will shed light on the truth behind these allegations and determine the appropriate course of action.

It is essential to follow the developments of this case closely and ensure that justice is served for all parties involved. Stay tuned for updates on this ongoing investigation.
