Crown Princess Mette-Marit's son, Marius Borg Hoiby, faces a high-profile rape trial and related legal proceedings in Oslo.
Marius Borg Høiby, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, is on trial in Oslo for 40 charges, including four counts of rape involving incapacitated women. He denies the allegations, while the case has drawn intense media attention and scrutiny of the royal family. A verdict is expected soon.
Oslo district court has sentenced Marius Borg Hoiby, 29, to four years in prison after convicting him of two counts of rape, domestic violence and drug offences. He was acquitted of two other rape charges. Hoiby has been in custody since February, denies the rape convictions and his lawyers have said they will appeal.
