Prosecutors seek more than seven years in jail for son of Norway’s crown princess

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Prosecutors are seeking over seven years in prison for Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Norway's crown princess, following a six-week trial in Oslo. Høiby is charged with 39 offenses, including four rapes, domestic abuse, breaches of restraining orders, assault, and drug and driving offenses. He has pleaded guilty to minor offenses but denies the rape allegations. The prosecution argues the severity of the crimes, particularly the alleged filming of abuse, warrants a strict sentence. The case has garnered significant media attention amid scrutiny of Crown Princess Mette-Marit's past associations and her recent health concerns. A verdict is expected in several months.
