Marius Borg Høiby Indicted on 32 Counts Including Four Rapes

Prosecutors cite videos and photographs as evidence ahead of a January trial.

Overview

  • The alleged offences span 2018 to 2024, with prosecutors saying some assaults occurred after consensual sex while the women were sleeping.
  • The charges include illegally filming women’s genitals, domestic abuse of ex-partner Nora Haukland, multiple acts of violence, vandalism and restraining-order violations.
  • Investigators say the case file contains video clips, photographs, text messages and search findings.
  • A six-week trial is expected in January, and the maximum possible sentence across the charges is up to 10 years in prison.
  • Høiby denies the rape and domestic-violence allegations, plans to plead guilty to some lesser counts, remains free pending trial, and the royal palace has declined further comment.
