The victim must have been unable to resist the act, writes police attorney Andreas Kruszewski in the Oslo police district. This woman is not among the previous victims. The charge stems from a relationship in Oslo, news learns. The police state that they created a report on the basis of information that has come to light during the ongoing investigation. The police started an investigation into the incident on 6 November 2024. There are now a total of five victims, four women and one man, in the cases where Høiby is charged. – She is having a tough time The legal aid lawyer for the new offended woman tells news that the client has been questioned. – She is having a hard time, and it is heavy. It was not she who reported the relationship, it was the police who opened a case, says aid lawyer Hege Salomon to news. Salomon states that the victim is a woman in her 20s. – She has not sought the public light. She did not know the accused or the other victims in this case prior to the incident described in the press release. And she wants to be protected, she says. With regard to the investigation, Salomon will not elaborate on when and where the incident occurred. – We do not go far back in time, but there is something going back in time. I can say that there was an incident that happened this year, she says. ASSISTANCE ATTORNEY: Attorney Hege Salomon.

Kolsrud points out that Høiby was initially charged with violence, threats and damage. He was then charged with abuse in close relationships. – It has a penalty of six years. Now the charge has been extended to rape, which carries a penalty of ten years. A person who is convicted of one rape without intercourse is normally sentenced to between one and three years in unconditional prison, according to Kolsrud. Kjetil Kolsrud is an editor at Rett24. Photo: ISMAIL BURAK AKKAN / news He also reminds that Høiby only has the status of being charged, and that he has neither been charged nor convicted. Simply put, the prosecution must consider that it is at least 51 percent likely that a person is guilty in order to bring a charge. In order to proceed with any prosecution, the prosecution must be certain beyond a reasonable doubt. – There is a much higher proof threshold. That is the reason why you will regularly see that charges do not lead to prosecution, because the investigation shows that there is no evidentiary basis to proceed, says Kolsrud. Expanding the charge from this summer The part of the charge that applies to victims of the Frogner incident on 4 August this year has now been extended to include abuse in close relationships. – I confirm that the charge relating to the victim whom I represent has been extended to violence in close relationships. This is not surprising from the circumstances of the case, says the woman’s legal aid lawyer, Mette Yvonne Larsen, to news. Høiby is now also charged with another violation of a restraining order against the same victim. The victim after the Frogner incident was with Marius Borg Høiby when he was arrested on Monday. – My client was in a car with Marius Borg Høiby last night because she was going to borrow his car while he had a planned trip abroad imminent, she says. There were purely practical reasons why she was there, says the lawyer. Larsen is not aware of whether this is being investigated as a breach of a restraining order. A report has also been filed for driving without a valid driver’s license, the police say. PST is aware of the arrest The police’s security service, which among other things is responsible for the bodyguard service for the royal family, says they are aware of the case. – PST is aware of the arrest. Beyond that, we have no comment, says Eirik Veum in PST to news. The palace does not wish to comment on the arrest, the extended charge, or whether it will lead to changes in the crown prince couple’s plans going forward. – We ask for your understanding that we cannot comment on the matter. We are referring to the police and the lawyer of Marius Borg Høiby, writes communications manager Guri Varpe at the Castle in an e-mail to NTB. Crown Prince Haakon is in Jamaica on Tuesday, and is scheduled to return home on Wednesday. Crown Princess Mette-Marit has no official program for the rest of November.
