Overview

  • Oslo prosecutors filed the indictment on August 18 following a multi‑month investigation that expanded through 2024 and 2025.
  • The alleged incidents date from 2018 to late 2024 and include claims of sexual acts on sleeping women and secret filming of genitals.
  • The case also lists abuse in close relationships, multiple assaults, threats including against police, trespass, property damage and traffic offenses.
  • Høiby has pleaded not guilty to most charges while acknowledging an August 2024 drug‑related assault and property damage, and his lawyers say he will cooperate.
  • The Royal Palace issued a brief statement deferring to the courts, and Høiby holds no title or official role in the royal household.
