A woman testified in court about an alleged sexual assault by Marius Borg Høiby at a hotel in Oslo, claiming she became increasingly drowsy and was unable to consent after initially engaging in consensual sex.
In a courtroom in Oslo, a woman recounted her experience of an alleged sexual assault involving Marius Borg Høiby, who is facing charges for multiple assaults. According to her testimony, the incident occurred on the morning of November 2, 2024, after they had consensual sexual encounters, but she later expressed a desire to sleep. As her exhaustion grew, she perceived a change in the situation where he continued to engage with her despite her evident fatigue and lack of consent.
The woman described her memories of that night as increasingly 'blurry,' indicating confusion about what transpired. She recounted moments of waking up to uncomfortable sensations, likening them to sensations of being struck in the lower abdomen. Her testimony suggests that she was unable to fully comprehend what was happening as she struggled against her tiredness, leading to a harrowing recounting of her experience in front of the court.
The prosecutor's office contends that Høiby acted inappropriately by allegedly inserting his fingers into her without her consent after she had fallen asleep, a serious allegation that raises critical questions about consent and sexual violence. Høiby has denied all allegations against him, positioning this case within broader discussions about sexual consent and accountability in Norway, particularly regarding high-profile individuals.
