Norwegian royal Marius Borg Høiby faces rape and assault charges with double-digit victims, shaking the monarchy.

In a shocking turn of events, Marius Borg Høiby, the eldest son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit and stepson of Crown Prince Haakon, has been charged with multiple counts of rape, sexual assault, and bodily harm. The Oslo Police, after a month-long investigation, confirmed a staggering double-digit number of victims, painting a grim picture of the 28-year-old’s alleged actions.

The charges include one count of rape involving intercourse, two counts of rape without intercourse, four sexual assault cases, and two instances of bodily harm. Authorities conducted an exhaustive probe, with extensive witness interviews, searches, and analysis of digital evidence. Høiby, reportedly cooperative during questioning, faces serious allegations that have sent ripples through Norway’s royal circles.

Despite the gravity of the charges, Høiby’s attorney, Petar Sekulic, insists his client denies any wrongdoing, particularly regarding the sexual abuse and violence accusations. The Royal House of Norway, meanwhile, has remained tight-lipped, stating the matter is now in the hands of the legal system.

This case raises unsettling questions about privilege and accountability, as the nation watches how justice unfolds in the shadow of royalty.

He thought the crown came with a scepter *and* a free pass!
