In the ongoing trial against Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, a third woman has come forward with accusations that he raped her while she was incapacitated. During her testimony in Oslo, the woman described the traumatic events of March 24, 2024, after having invited Høiby home following a party. She revealed that she was heavily intoxicated and under the influence of sleeping pills at the time of the alleged assault.

The woman detailed that during the incident, Høiby touched her genitals without her consent and purportedly filmed her while she was unable to resist. She recounted her state during that night, emphasizing that she was extremely tired and exhausted, which played a pivotal role in her inability to consent. Her emotional testimony in court highlighted the severe impact such violations have on victims, as she struggled visibly to recount the events.

This trial marks a significant moment in addressing sexual violence and accountability in high-profile cases, particularly involving members of royal families. The legal proceedings and testimonies are expected to draw considerable public attention within Norway and beyond, as issues of consent and victim’s rights take center stage in discussions surrounding sexual assault laws.
