Norway’s Crown Princess’s Son Convicted of Rape, Sentenced to Four Years

A Norwegian court found Marius Borg Høiby, the eldest son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, guilty of rape and domestic-violence-related charges, including 34 counts overall with two rape charges. The verdict covers alleged rapes between 2018 and 2024, and he was ordered to serve a four-year prison sentence plus about 640,000 kroner in punitive damages to four victims. Høiby, who is not in the line of succession, had previously admitted to some lesser counts and apologized for an assault alleged during an ex-girlfriend dispute as the case unfolded and more victims came forward.

Norway awaits the Oslo District Court verdict in Marius Borg Høiby’s high-profile rape trial, where prosecutors seek seven years and seven months for four rapes among 40 charges, while his defense requests about 18 months. The 29-year-old Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s son will appear by video link due to health reasons after the trial’s end, and he has been in custody since February. The case also involves drugs and traffic offences, with witnesses allowed to remain anonymous. The broader royal-s family saga is complicated by the Crown Princess’s serious illness and lung-transplant listing, and the verdict is seen as a pivotal moment for the monarchy amid intense public scrutiny.
