Norwegian Crown Princess's Son Charged with Rape

Marius Borg Høiby, the 27-year-old son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, has been arrested on suspicion of rape, specifically for allegedly engaging in sexual intercourse with a victim who was unable to resist. This arrest follows previous charges against him for bodily harm and other offenses involving multiple victims. Høiby, who does not hold a royal title and stepped back from public life in 2017, has reportedly denied the rape allegation, while his lawyer stated that the victim is facing difficulties. The police have opened an investigation, and the royal family has not commented on the matter. This incident adds to a series of legal troubles for Høiby, highlighting ongoing concerns regarding his behavior and its impact on the reputation of the Norwegian royal family.
