This week marks a pivotal moment in the court case as one of the alleged victims is set to testify against Høiby, who has denied the charges.

As Høiby prepares for court, his defense lawyers, Ellen Holager Andenæs and Petar Sekulic, conveyed to reporters their client is mentally ready to face the legal battle. They mentioned that despite the serious nature of the charges, Høiby valued the support from visitors such as the Crown Prince, who visited him in prison, highlighting a personal connection amid the legal turmoil he is facing.

This case has garnered significant media attention in Norway, not just because of the nature of the allegations but also due to Høiby’s familial ties to the royal family.
