Overview

• The Oslo District Court has reserved February 3 to March 13 for the proceedings, with 24 trial days allocated.
• Høiby’s defense confirmed the schedule, saying the court set aside sufficient time after coordinating with counsel.
• The indictment includes allegations of rape, abuse in close relationships, and bodily harm filed by Oslo prosecutors.
• Høiby denies the sexual-offense allegations, though he previously admitted violence toward a former girlfriend while under the influence of alcohol and cocaine.
• Reports note a possible maximum sentence of up to ten years if convicted, and the royal household has offered limited public comment as the case advances.
