Marius Borg H\u00f8iby Trial to Conclude This WeekANE HEM – Getty Images<\/p>\n
The trial of Marius Borg H\u00f8iby<\/a>, son of Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit, is set to end this week, and prosecutors have requested a jail term of seven years and seven months. The case had a maximum prison time of 10 years.<\/p>\n H\u00f8iby denies most of the 39 charges, including four counts of rape, but has already pleaded guilty to some of the lesser offenses including a drugs charge and breaking a restraining order. He also partially admitted to assaulting a woman, but denied that he abused her. Giving evidence last week, he spoke about the press coverage. \u201cI’m not Marius any more, I\u2019m a monster,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe fact that you commit criminal acts after the media spotlight is directed at you as a famous person should not contribute to a reduction in sentence,\u201d police attorney Andreas Kruszewski said, per NRK<\/a>. State Attorney Sturla Henriksb\u00f8 added, \u201cRape and abuse in close relationships are among the most serious conditions that one can expose other people to, and this must also be reflected in the punishment.\u201d<\/p>\n Henriksb\u00f8 told the court that three of the rape charges should command a two-year term in jail, and a fourth should receive a three-year term. In all four rape cases, per the BBC, \u201cthe women were either asleep or otherwise incapacitated,\u201d though H\u00f8iby told the court, \u201cI don\u2019t sleep with women who aren\u2019t awake.\u201d In three of the four cases, police found video taken by H\u00f8iby of the women. (He is also accused of filming them without consent.)<\/p>\n His mom, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, his stepfather, Crown Prince Haakon, and his half-siblings Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus have not been in court for the trial. \u201cMarius Borg H\u00f8iby is not a member of the Royal House of Norway and is therefore autonomous,\u201d Haakon said in a statement<\/a> before the trail began. \u201cWe care about him, and he is an important member of our family. He is a citizen of Norway and, as such, has the same responsibilities as everyone else \u2014 as well as the same rights.\u201d<\/p>\n You Might Also Like<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marius Borg H\u00f8iby Trial to Conclude This WeekANE HEM – Getty Images The trial of Marius Borg H\u00f8iby,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42826,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[85],"tags":[417,16604,419,157,156,24279,24269,644],"class_list":{"0":"post-44102","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-oslo","8":"tag-crown-prince-haakon","9":"tag-marius-borg","10":"tag-marius-borg-hoiby","11":"tag-norway","12":"tag-oslo","13":"tag-prince-sverre-magnus","14":"tag-princess-mette-marit","15":"tag-rape-charges"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116258816808176040","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44102"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44102\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
