**Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s Son Faces Serious Charges of Sexual Assault and Rape**
Norway's royal family is in turmoil as Marius Borg Hoiby, stepson of Crown Prince Haakon, is charged amid a protracted police investigation.
In a shocking turn of events, Marius Borg Hoiby, the first son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, has been formally charged with rape and sexual assault. The Oslo police made the announcement after a lengthy investigation lasting several months, revealing serious allegations against the 28-year-old.
Hoiby, who is also the stepson of Crown Prince Haakon, was first apprehended in August on charges related to bodily harm. Since then, his legal troubles have compounded, leading to additional arrests in September and November on different allegations of rape. The police have dedicated significant time to the case, interviewing numerous witnesses and analyzing extensive digital evidence throughout their inquiry.
In a response to the latest charges, Hoiby's attorney, Petar Sekulic, stated that his client takes these accusations seriously but denies most allegations, particularly those concerning sexual abuse and violence. He emphasized that Hoiby has been cooperative with authorities and remains hopeful for exoneration if the situation proceeds to trial.
Born into a prominent royal family, Marius Borg Hoiby was only four when his mother married Crown Prince Haakon in 2001. Despite his family connections, he does not hold a royal title or perform any official duties. The recent updates indicate he is facing severe charges, including rape with and without intercourse, alongside several other serious accusations such as bodily harm and the violation of restraining orders.
After his initial arrest, Hoiby expressed remorse for past actions related to substance abuse, acknowledging his involvement in damaging property while under the influence of alcohol and drugs. He has since indicated plans to seek treatment for these issues. As the case unfolds, prosecutors will soon determine whether he will face indictment, leaving the royal family's future in a cloud of uncertainty.
