About

Sturla Henriksbø is a State Prosecutor in Norway. He is currently newsworthy for leading the prosecution in the trial of Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit. Høiby is facing 40 charges, including four counts of rape, assault, reckless behavior, and violating a restraining order. The trial, which has been ongoing for over six weeks at Oslo district court, has garnered significant attention due to its connection to the Norwegian royal family and the serious nature of the allegations. Henriksbø has requested a jail term of seven years and seven months for Høiby, arguing that he should be found guilty of 39 of the 40 charges. The prosecution's case includes testimony from alleged victims, one of whom gave a tearful account of the alleged rape. Høiby has pleaded not guilty to the rape charges, claiming he partied due to a need for validation.
