The father of a rape victim spoke about his concerns and anger in a court case involving the accused, who is charged with multiple offenses including filming the assault.
In a recent court case in Oslo, the father of a woman involved in a significant legal battle expressed his concerns after his daughter became one of the victims in a case against Høiby. The accused faces charges of having sexually assaulted the woman while she was asleep and filming her without consent. The father conveyed his disbelief and anger regarding the situation, reflecting on societal attitudes toward such incidents. He recounted how media coverage has shaped perceptions, indicating that men should refrain from interactions that could lead to accusations of misconduct.
The father recalled the events leading up to the alleged crime, noting that his daughter had met Høiby during an afterparty following a night out in Oslo. The two had consensually engaged in sexual relations before the incident turned criminal. Following the Easter holiday in 2024, the father had a planned meet-up with his daughter, which would take place before attending a concert together, showcasing the joyful anticipation that was soon overshadowed by the trauma of the events that unfolded.
As the trial progresses, the case draws attention to the issues of consent and the responsibility of individuals in intimate situations. The father's testimony in court adds a personal dimension to the broader conversation about sexual violence and the emotional toll it takes on victims and their families. The legal outcomes could have significant implications not only for the involved parties but also for societal attitudes towards sexual crimes and the importance of consent.
