Marius Borg Hoiby, the eldest son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit, was sentenced to four years in prison Monday, after being convicted on two of four rape charges, while being acquitted on the other two.
He was also convicted of assault and abuse in close relationships. In addition to the prison sentence, Hoiby was ordered to pay compensation to the victims.
Hoiby, 29, had been charged with sexually assaulting four women who were asleep or otherwise unable to resist between 2018 and 2024.
He faced a total of 40 criminal charges, including some for lesser offenses, such as assault, drug-related crimes and violations of a restraining order.
Hoiby had denied the rape allegations but admitted to several of the lesser offenses.
