Norwegian Police Investigate Marius Borg Høiby for Alleged Contact Ban Violation
The son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit denies breaching a court-imposed contact ban while undergoing treatment for substance abuse issues.
- Marius Borg Høiby, 27, is under investigation for allegedly violating a contact ban by reaching out to one of his ex-girlfriends, a claim he denies.
- The contact ban was imposed to prevent potential influence on alleged victims amid ongoing investigations into accusations of sexual misconduct and violence.
- Høiby, the stepson of Norway's Crown Prince Haakon, has faced multiple allegations since the summer, including claims of violence and property damage under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
- The ex-girlfriend in question has publicly denied feeling threatened and expressed a desire for the contact ban to be lifted, stating it was not requested by her but imposed in the public interest.
- Høiby remains in a London rehabilitation facility for substance abuse treatment and has not been formally charged in any of the allegations against him.
