Marius Borg Høiby, the eldest son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, was sentenced to four years in prison on Monday, June 15, 2026, after being convicted of rape. The verdict was delivered by the Oslo District Court, according to Norwegian media reports.
Høiby, 29, was found guilty of two of the four rape charges he faced and acquitted of the other two. The court also ordered him to pay compensation to the victims, though the exact amount was not immediately disclosed.
The case has drawn significant media attention in Norway due to Høiby's connection to the royal family. Crown Princess Mette-Marit has not publicly commented on the verdict. Høiby's lawyer stated they are considering an appeal.
