Oslo, Norway: Police have announced charges against Marius Borg Hoiby, 28, who is the eldest son of Norway's crown princess. He's been charged with multiple counts of rape, sexual assault, and bodily harm. This concluded a months-long investigation which has victims in the double digits.
He has been cooperating with police, and evidence was taken from sources including texts, witness testimonies & police searches.
Per nbc:
The charges included one case of rape involving intercourse and two cases of rape without intercourse, four cases of sexual assault and two cases of bodily harm, Kruszewksi said at a news conference.
“I cannot go into further detail about the number of victims in the case beyond confirming that it is a double-digit number,” he said.
Defense attorney Petar Sekulic, in an email to The Associated Press, said Høiby was “absolutely taking the accusations very seriously, but doesn’t acknowledge any wrongdoing in most of the cases — especially the cases regarding sexual abuse and violence.”
The royal palace said “the case is proceeding through the legal system and is following normal procedures. We have nothing further to add.”
