Marius Borg Høiby, who is the stepson of Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, was arrested in Oslo on suspicion of rape. The charges allege that Borg Høiby engaged in sexual intercourse with an unconscious individual, sparking national debate and media coverage due to his royal associations.

The arrest has brought unwelcome attention to Norway's royal family, who are widely viewed with admiration by the public. Borg Høiby, the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit from a prior relationship, does not hold any royal title or perform official duties.

In addition to the rape accusation, Borg Høiby faces multiple preliminary charges, including bodily harm, criminal damage, and restraining order violations. Legal proceedings and police investigations are ongoing, involving four women and one man as associated victims in various cases.
