- The most serious charges carry a maximum penalty of up to ten years in prison, and the prosecutor stressed he will not receive special treatment because of royal ties.
- Høiby has pleaded not guilty to many counts and has disputed the sexual allegations, though he previously acknowledged assaulting a former girlfriend in 2024 while intoxicated.
