  • Investigators drew on text messages, witness testimonies and searches linked to a double-digit number of alleged victims.
  • Marius Borg Høiby denies most of the allegations and remains free pending trial under Norway’s presumption of innocence.
  • Although raised alongside the royal heirs at Skaugum, Høiby holds no title or official duties and cooperated fully with police questioning.
  • The Norwegian royal palace has maintained strict silence, declining to comment on the ongoing legal proceedings.
