News summary

Marius Borg Høiby, the 27-year-old son of Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit, has been arrested on suspicion of committing a sexual act with an unconscious or defenseless person, marking his third arrest in four months. Despite the serious allegations, Høiby denies the accusations, and his lawyer, Øyvind Bratlien, has stated that an appeal against the preventive detention is under consideration.

Høiby, who is not part of the royal succession and holds no title, has been involved in several controversies, including domestic violence, highlighting broader issues of gender equality in Norway. The ongoing case has attracted significant media attention, as it touches upon the royal family's reputation and Norway's societal values.
