Overview

• Prosecutors filed a 32-count indictment on August 18 that includes four alleged rapes and other serious offenses.
• New reporting cites the charge sheet in alleging an October 2023 assault in Henningsvær during a Lofoten trip that included Haakon, with claims Høiby later raped a woman and filmed her genitals while she slept.
• Police say seized digital files contain women who have not yet been identified after an inquiry that initially reviewed 16 suspicions, some closed for limitation or evidentiary reasons.
• If convicted, Høiby could face up to 10 years in prison, and the trial is expected to begin in mid-January 2026.
• Høiby denies the sexual-offense allegations but has acknowledged past violence and drug problems, and Haakon has publicly noted that the case will be decided in court.
