Marius Borg H\u00f8iby, who was on trial in Oslo, was found guilty of two rape charges \u2014 and acquitted of the other two.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old, who is\u00a0Crown Princess Mette-Marit\u2019s son, faced 40 charges in total, including violence, threats and abuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also faced charges for lesser offenses, including assault, drug-related crimes and violation of a restraining order. He denied the rape allegations but admitted to several of the lesser offenses.<\/p>\n

H\u00f8iby was also convicted of assault and abuse in close relationships and ordered to pay compensation to the victims.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors called for a sentence of seven years and seven months in prison \u2014 while his defense attorneys said he should be acquitted of the rape allegations and receive no more than 18 months for the crimes he admitted to.<\/p>\n

H\u00f8iby was charged with sexually assaulting four women between 2018 and 2024 while they were asleep or otherwise unable to resist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Several accusers testified during the six-week trial, which concluded in March, and evidence from his cell phone \u2014 including messages, images, and videos\u2014was shown inside the courthouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In February, one woman testified how\u00a0H\u00f8iby \u201cjust wouldn\u2019t stop\u201d after they initially had consexual sex in her hotel room on the night of Nov. 1 2024, according to Agence-France Presse.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was getting more and more tired. I felt like I was just lying there, and he just wouldn\u2019t stop,\u201d she told the courthouse.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more tired I got, the less I took part.\u201d<\/p>\n

She claimed she had told\u00a0H\u00f8iby\u00a0she wanted to sleep before being awoken by what she claimed was a \u201cviolent blow\u201d in her genital area.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was painful. I think I just froze, then I fell back asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

H\u00f8iby was not present in the courthouse, appearing only via video link, which his lawyers said was due to health reasons. He has been in police custody since early February.<\/p>\n

H\u00f8iby\u00a0joined the Norwegian royal family when\u00a0Mette-Marit married Haakon \u2014 the crown prince and heir to the throne \u2014 in 2001.<\/p>\n

In January, the crown prince revealed he and the crown princess wouldn\u2019t attend\u00a0H\u00f8iby\u2019s trial.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarius Borg H\u00f8iby is not a member of the Royal House of Norway and is therefore autonomous,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHe is a citizen of Norway and, as such, has the same responsibilities as everyone else \u2014 as well as the same rights.\u201d<\/p>\n
