Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Norway's crown princess, is on trial in Oslo, accused of 38 crimes, including four rapes and assaults. The charges stem from an afterparty in 2018 at the royal residence, Skaugum. Høiby has pleaded not guilty to the most serious offenses and faces up to 16 years in prison if convicted. During his testimony, Høiby stated that he did not remember taking videos and pictures found on his phone that allegedly show him sexually assaulting a woman. He admitted to consensual sex with the woman but denied it occurred while she was unconscious. Høiby also spoke about the pressures of growing up in the public eye and his struggles with validation, leading to substance abuse.
