The eldest son of\u00a0Norway\u2019s crown princess has been sentenced to 4 years in prison after being found guilty on two counts of rape.<\/p>\n

Marius Borg Hoiby, 29, is the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit and stepson of Crown Prince Haakon, the heir to the throne within the Norwegian royal family.<\/p>\n

He was facing 38 charges, including the rape of 4 women, assaulting and threatening a girlfriend and damaging her flat, drug charges and other driving offences.<\/p>\n

Judges within the Oslo District Court cleared him of two other counts of rape, but he was found guilty of many other accusations.<\/p>\n

Hoiby wasn\u2019t in court for the decision, but appeared through video link.<\/p>\n

His lawyers are expected to appeal the decision, having called for a term of just 18 months for the crime.<\/p>\n

The Norwegian royal family has repeatedly said that H\u00f8iby just isn’t a public figure, but his proximity to the monarchy has put his trial on the international stage.<\/p>\n

He has no royal title or official duties and is outside the road of royal succession.<\/p>\n

Who’s Marius Borg H\u00f8iby?<\/h2>\n

Born on January 13, 1997, to mum Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway and father Morten Borg, H\u00f8iby was not born into royalty.<\/p>\n

But when his mother married Prince Haakon in 2001, he was thrust into the highlight, being considered by many as a royal, despite having no official titles.<\/p>\n

He has no public role in royalty, but has been scrutinised by the media for years, having been related to gang members in 2023.<\/p>\n

After allegations of assault emerged, it was revealed he had a previous arrest for using\u00a0cocaine\u00a0at a\u00a0music festival\u00a0in 2017.<\/p>\n

His stepfather, Prince Haakon, said in a press release last week: \u2018Marius Borg Hoiby just isn’t a part of the royal household. In that respect, he’s independent. But in fact we love him. He’s a crucial a part of our family.<\/p>\n

\u2018And he’s a citizen of Norway. With that, he has the identical responsibilities as everyone else, but additionally the identical rights.\u2019<\/p>\n
