Son of Norway princess charged with four rapes
A prosecutor said on Monday that Norway’s 28 -year -old son of Norway’s Crown Princess was accused of raping four women and various violence actions and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Marius Borg Hoiby, who was born from a relationship with Crown Princess Mette-Marit, married Crown Prince Haakon, under investigation since he was arresting a girlfriend on August 4 last year.
He is accused of rape while sleeping four women. Public prosecutor Sturla Henriksbo told journalists, at least three of the cases met the same day with women and had consent -based sex before alleged rape.
Hoiby is also accused of filming without any knowledge of his genitals.
Henriksbo said that the inspectors’ video clips and photos were evidence.
Four rapes, the last after the police investigation, the last 2018, 2023 and 2024 was claimed.
Other accusations against Hoiby include several census of violence against a family abuse and peace against an old partner, vandalism, and violations of restricting orders against another old partner.
The only victim defined by the Prosecutor’s Office was Hoiby’s ex -girlfriend Nora Haukland, who was accused of physically and psychologically exploited in 2022 and 2023.
– ‘Cramped Fist’ –
“Violence, as well as other things, a cramped punch, drowning him, kickening and hard grabing, including again involved in his face.” He said.
The authority said the maximum sentence of the crimes in the indictment was up to 10 years in prison.
“These are very serious actions that can leave permanent scars and destroy lives.”
After the announcement, the palace remained firmly.
Spokesperson Sara Svanemyr, in a comment sent to AFP by e -mail, “Courts take into account this issue and make a decision.” He said.
As a member of the royal family, the prosecutor said Hoiby would not be treated “lighter or more serious” than anyone in similar conditions.
Hoiby has already accepted the attack and vandalism in the incident of August 2024.
10 days after his arrest, in a public statement, “under the influence of alcohol and cocaine after a discussion”, “mental problems” suffered and “drug addiction for a long time fighting,” he said.
Back hair, earrings, rings and tattoos with a “bad child” a long blonde, Hoiby has been in the eyes of a media storm since his arrest.
When the allegations of rape appeared in November, he remained in custody for an unprecedented week for a member of Norway’s royal family.
After being released, it was reported that he went to rehabilitation in London.
– ‘gilded cage’ –
Hoiby is the child of a short romanticism between his mother and Morten Borg, who is also convicted of harassment and drug -related crimes. They were together at a time when the future princess was part of the house music scene known for its hash and ecstasy abundance.
When his mother married Norway’s Crown prince, he has two more children.
Hoiby was raised by the royal couple with his half -brothers Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus, who is currently 21 and 19 years old.
However, unlike them, there is no official public role.
“It was left in an almost impossible position: a foot inside, one foot out. Technically, it grew in the royal household,” he said. He said.
“He lives in a gray area, in a kind of gilded cage,” he told AFP in December 2024.
A cage that has not kept him away from discussing in recent years.
According to media reports, gang members, Hells Angels cyclists and Oslo Albanian mafia were attached. In 2023, the police contacted him after acting in the same circles as “Bad Famous Criminals”.
It turned out that Hoiby was arrested for using cocaine at a music festival in 2017 last year.
