COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- The eldest son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit has been arrested again, this time on suspicion of rape, police said Tuesday.

Marius Borg Høiby is the stepson of the heir to the Norwegian throne, Crown Prince Haakon, and the son of Mette-Marit from a previous relationship. He has no royal title or official duties.

Borg Høiby was arrested late Monday in Oslo on a preliminary charge of having had “sexual intercourse with someone who is unconscious or for other reasons unable to resist the act.” A preliminary charge comes before a formal charge and allows authorities to detain suspects during an investigation.

Police did not say when the alleged rape occurred, but only that “the victim must have been unable to resist the act.” Norwegian media said Borg Høiby denied the accusation.

Hege Salomon, the lawyer for the woman who was allegedly raped, said “she is having a hard time.” She told Norwegian broadcaster NRK that police, not the woman, had brought the case. The woman was not identified.

Son of Norway’s crown princess charged with rape, sexual assault and bodily harm​

Police in Oslo announce charges against Marius Borg Høiby after months-long investigation involving ‘double-digit’ number of victims.

The Oslo police attorney Andreas Kruszewski said Høiby had been cooperative during police questioning, which was now complete. Evidence in the case was drawn from sources including text messages, witness testimonies and police searches, the police attorney said.

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.

The Norwegian prosecutor's office has brought charges against Marius Borg Høiby. This was announced by the responsible prosecutor Sturla Henriksbø in Oslo. It is also about rapes, which are accused of the eldest son of the Norwegian crown princess Mette-Marit.

In total, Høiby is charged in 32 points. The trial against him will probably begin in mid-January 2026, according to the prosecutor.

Since last year, the Høiby case has been making headlines in Norway. Høiby had admitted to having become violent against his then girlfriend under the influence of alcohol and cocaine. In a written statement, he reported on psychological problems and of struggling with drug abuse for a long time.

In addition to four counts of rape, the charges include domestic abuse against a former partner and several counts of violence, disturbing the peace, vandalism and violation of restraining orders against another former partner.

"The maximum penalty for the offences listed in the indictment is imprisonment of up to 10 years," he said.

"These are very serious acts that can leave lasting scars and destroy lives," the prosecutor said.
