Marius Borg Høiby accused of 39 offences, but denies the most serious charges of four rapes
Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Norway’s crown princess, should receive more than seven years in prison if he is found guilty of 39 offences, including four rapes and assaults, according to prosecutors.
On Wednesday, the penultimate day of the more than six-week-long trial at Oslo district court, the prosecution said it believed that Høiby was guilty of 39 of the 40 offences with which he was charged, which, as well as rape and domestic abuse, include multiple breaches of restraining orders, assault, drug and driving offences.
One of the offences, violation of a restraining order, has been overturned. Høiby, 29, has pleaded guilty to several relatively minor offences but denied the alleged rapes.
After the final day of the trial on Thursday, it could take several months for the judges to make a decision.
