An Oslo court on June 15 sentenced Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit's son to four years in prison on two counts of rape and 32 other offences, in a high-profile scandal that has rocked the monarchy.
Marius Borg Hoiby, 29, Mette-Marit's son from a relationship prior to her 2001 marriage to Crown Prince Haakon, was accused of 40 charges, from rape to traffic violations, carrying a maximum possible sentence of 16 years in prison.
One of the rapes for which he was convicted took place at the crown prince couple's official residence in 2018.
