Royal family breaks silence after relative charged with rape in rare public statement | Royal | News
Crown Prince Haakon from Norway spoke on charges of abuse of abuse of 32 crimes. Norwegian Outlet Se og Hør reported that 27 -year -old Marius Borg Høiby was first arrested in August 2024 after the accusations he attacked a 20 -year -old woman “psychological and physical”.
Norway’s state prosecutor officially accused 32 crimes on August 18th – like three rape and rape with sexual intercourse. Speaking about his step son, Crown Prince Haakon from Norway said to journalists: “As we always do, we will continue to do our best. Everyone who participates in this case is probably challenging and difficult.”
Reuters said that his lawyer was guilty of Marius for less crimes, but he objected to the most serious charges.
According to Reuters, Sekulic said: “Rape and domestic violence does not agree with allegations.”
Marius was the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit before she married Crown Prince Haakon in 2000.
The couple then welcomed two children – 21 -year -old princess Ingrid Alexandra and 19 -year -old Prince Sverre Magnus.
Although his half brothers are now second and third about the throne, Marius has not had any royal title and will not have a public role in 2017.
Marius was held for 30 hours after his arrest last August, before he was released.
Prosecutor Sturla Henriksbo said that the maximum penalty for the CBS was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The hearing is expected to start in January 2026.
“Marius Borg Høiby’s being a member of the royal family should not mean that similar actions should be treated more seriously than others.
