Son of Norway’s crown princess found guilty of rape and jailed for four years

Marius Borg Høiby Norway
  • Marius Borg Høiby, 29, stepson of Norway 's Crown Prince Haakon, has been sentenced to four years in prison by an Oslo court.
  • He was found guilty of two counts of rape, one count of domestic violence, and other crimes, but acquitted on two additional rape charges.
  • Høiby, who had pleaded not guilty to the most severe accusations, has the option to appeal the verdict.
  • The seven-week trial, which detailed Høiby’s drug addiction and sexual encounters, contributed to a decline in the Norwegian royal family's popularity.
  • The verdict comes as Høiby's mother, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, faces severe health issues, having been placed on a national lung transplant list.
