Member of the Norwegian royal family accused of 23 crimes

The eldest son of the Norwegian Crown Princess, Marius Borg Høiby, is suspected of more than 20 crimes, including rape.

As reported by BAKU.WS, The Guardian writes about this, citing the words of the lawyer representing the police, Andreas Krushevsky, according to "European Truth".

Krushevsky stated that Høiby is suspected of 23 crimes, including rape. He noted that the investigation has been handed over to prosecutors, who will decide whether to press charges.

Marius Borg Høiby has been under investigation since his arrest on August 4, 2024, on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend. The arrest led to a series of charges against him.

Krushevsky stated that Høiby is suspected of "one case of rape with sexual contact" and "two cases of rape without sexual contact".

Also, according to him, Høiby is also suspected of "four cases of sexual assault, one case of abuse in a close relationship, two cases of causing bodily harm, one case of vandalism, one case of threats, five violations of a restraining order, one case of insulting a police officer, and five traffic violations".

Høiby's lawyer, Ellen Holager Andenæs, stated that her client denies the three rape charges.

In August, Høiby admitted to beating his girlfriend while under the influence of cocaine and alcohol in early August, which led to his detention by police.
