– Nora Haukland has received a concrete threat related to her status as the offended party in a criminal case, says defense lawyer John Christian Elden to news. The threat has been reported to the police. Elden will not elaborate on the content of the threat. – Trying to threaten a victim in a criminal case into silence is very serious. Therefore, all such reports are reported to the police for a breach of the Criminal Code’s provisions on opposing the judiciary. Marius Borg Høiby is charged with mistreatment in close relations against Haukland, but there is no reason to suspect that he is behind the threat, according to Elden.

Then such threats must be reported, investigated and prosecuted, says the aid lawyer. – Have received nasty e-mails – Haukland has confidence that the police will take the necessary investigative steps to identify the sender of the threat. On Sunday, Haukland posted a photo on Snapchat in which she wrote that she had spent the night with a friend the night of Sunday. – I have received quite a few nasty e-mails and direct messages regarding what is happening in the media. I don’t know if there are people who really mean what they write, but better to be safe, I think, she wrote. Alleged to have been subjected to violence It was in August that Haukland came forward on social media and said that she had been subjected to violence by Marius Borg Høiby. In a six-hour interrogation, Haukland explained himself to the police in August. There she told about episodes in which Høiby allegedly exposed her to physical and psychological violence while the two were living together. The police have investigated the matter. On Saturday, Høiby was charged with abuse in close relationships. He has not yet made a decision on the question of guilt. Published 15.09.2024, at 13.35 Updated 15.09.2024, at 14.42
