Warum das Kronpinzenpaar nach Ansicht der Staatsanwaltschaft nicht vor Gericht muss.

Overview

  • The indictment outlines four alleged rapes between 2018 and 2024 and lists related offenses including secret filming, abuse in close relationships, multiple assaults, threats and property damage.
  • Prosecutors expect a roughly six-week trial to begin in mid-January 2026, and the most serious charges carry maximum penalties of up to 10 years in prison.
  • Høiby has pleaded not guilty to most counts and, through his lawyers, rejects the sexual-offense allegations, though he previously admitted violence while intoxicated in 2024.
  • The Royal Court issued a brief statement deferring to the judiciary, and Crown Prince Haakon called the situation challenging and difficult while continuing official duties.
  • Lawyer John Christian Elden, representing several alleged victims, said they were informed ahead of the announcement and that the charges align with their statements and the investigation material.
