Marius Borg Høiby, the 28-year-old son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit, could face 10 years in prison after being charged with:
✔ Raping 4 women (2018, 2023, 2024) while they slept
✔ Secretly filming victims’ genitals
✔ Brutal domestic abuse against ex-girlfriend Nora Haukland (choking, punching, kicking)
✔ Violating restraining orders, vandalism, and drug offenses
Why This Matters
- Unprecedented Case: First royal family member to face such serious charges
- Pattern of Abuse: Allegations span 6 years, continuing even during police investigation
- Palace Silence: Royal household refuses comment, emphasizing judicial independence
Key Evidence
→ Video clips & photos of assaults
→ Høiby’s partial confession to 2024 attack (blamed cocaine/alcohol)
→ Victim testimonies detailing psychological trauma
What Next?
→ Trial Proceedings: Could set legal precedent for royal accountability
→ Rehab Fallout: Høiby previously sought treatment in London
→ Monarchy’s Image: Tests Norwegian royals’ reputation as “people’s monarchy”
