That’s what the police wrote in a press release. The police write that they are investigating the case with a high priority and that the charge is continuously assessed and may be expanded. Høiby has not yet been questioned in the case, which is planned for next week. The police write that they have tried to get in touch with yet another ex after her statements on social media. On Thursday, it became known that the police will question Nora Haukeland, another ex-girlfriend of Høiby, in connection with statements on social media. Audio files the subject of the investigation The police also confirm that they are aware of audio recordings which are supposed to be telephone conversations between Borg Høiby and the offended woman. – The audio files VG chose to publish yesterday are known to the police, and they will be a natural topic in the investigation, the police wrote in the press release. VG has published parts of what they wrote, two audio recordings. In the audio recording, Borg Høiby is said, among other things, to have appeared threatening to the offended woman. Admitted violence while intoxicated with cocaine It was on Wednesday this week that Høiby admitted that he exercised violence against a woman he refers to as a loved one and destroyed objects at her home on the night of 4 August. According to himself, he did this while under the influence of cocaine. The admission came before Høiby had explained himself to the police and decided on the charges. – He has not formally taken a position on criminal guilt, as he has not been in court, but in reality this is an acknowledgment of criminal guilt, said Høiby’s defender Øyvind Bratlien to news afterwards. After the incident, the police charged him with bodily harm and damage. At 1pm that Sunday, the police came to the flat on Frogner following a report from the woman’s friend.

The offended woman received medical attention after the incident, and is on sick leave, says her legal counsel, Mette Yvonne Larsen. A few hours later, the police agree to arrest Høiby. It happens at Jansløkka school near Skaugum, where both Høiby and the crown prince couple live. Høiby then spent almost a day in solitary confinement before he was let out. That is why news mentions the charge against Marius Borg Høiby The press must be careful when using names and images of people involved in criminal cases, and this particularly applies at an early stage of the case. This appears from the press’s ethical regulations, the Be Careful poster. We have chosen to mention that Marius Borg Høiby has been charged with bodily harm and damage. He is the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit. Borg Høiby is a member of the royal family, but has no official role in the royal household. He has a right to protection of his privacy. As a member of the royal house, the crown princess has a very special role and position in Norwegian society, and we believe that there is a legitimate need for information for the public to know that her son has been charged with bodily harm and damage. The case has also affected the crown princess’s performance of official duties. Being charged with violence is a serious matter. It is important to emphasize that Marius Borg Høiby has only been charged, and that it is not known how he responds to the charge. Published 16.08.2024, at 15.48 Updated 16.08.2024, at 15.55
