Son of Norway Crown Princess, Marius Hoiby Is Convicted of Rape and Several Other Crimes, and Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison

Hoiby sentenced to 4 years in prison.

Prosecutors called him as a man who ‘thinks he can do whatever he wants.’

Another chapter has closed in the saga of the 29-year-old son of the Crown Princess of Norway, Marius Hoiby, as he is found guilty of two counts of rape and is sentenced to four years in prison.

Hoiby is the Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s son from a previous relationship, before her 2001 marriage to Crown Prince (heir to the Crown) Haakon of Norway.

The Telegraph reported:

“Marius Borg Høiby had been accused of a total of 40 charges, from rape to traffic violations, carrying a maximum possible sentence of 16 years in prison.

Three judges cleared him of two other counts of rape. But they found him guilty of many other offences, which included filming a woman’s genitals without her consent, abuse and breaking a restraining order.”

The 4-year sentence given by the judges was almost half of the one asked by prosecutors – who demanded seven years and seven months – but double of what defense lawyers sought, an 18-month prison term.

“The trial laid bare the life of excess lived by Høiby, who was thrust into the public eye at the age of three when his mother’s romance with the crown prince began.

‘I’m mostly known as my mother’s son, not anything else. So, I’ve had an extreme need for recognition my whole life’, he told the court. ‘And that manifested itself in a lot of sex, a lot of drugs, and a lot of alcohol.”

Euronews reported:

“Høiby, who has been in custody since 1 February, was not present in court on Monday for unspecified medical reasons, but appeared by video link.

The only rape victim present in the courtroom shed tears when the judge read out a guilty verdict in her case.

[…] Prosecutors argued the cases involved consensual sex that was later followed by sexual acts when the women appeared to be asleep or passed out, and therefore unable to consent.

Much of the legal arguments during the proceedings centered on the women’s level of awareness, and what Høiby would have been able to perceive at the time.”
