Legal Advocate: The Frogner Woman Wishes for the Restraining Order to be Extended

A woman from Frogner is seeking an extension of a restraining order against Marius Borg Høiby, who is under investigation for further offenses against her and has a history of violent behavior.

A restraining order in place against Marius Borg Høiby, which is set to expire on March 2, 2025, is being sought for extension by the woman from Frogner, according to her legal representative. Høiby is currently under investigation for additional violations committed against his former partner, including a range of serious allegations such as assaults and sexual misconduct. The ongoing legal proceedings began following a 2024 incident in which Høiby was acknowledged to have been violent towards the woman, marking the start of an extensive legal battle against him due to his actions.

The woman's advocate noted that they hope the restraining order extension can be processed alongside the ongoing court case. Høiby is facing a total of 38 charges, including four counts of rape and other offenses such as bodily harm and breaches of the restraining order. Since September 2024, a protective order has been in effect against him, limiting his ability to contact the Frogner woman until the legal matters are resolved. With the current expiration date approaching, her advocate is optimistic about the extension being granted.

The situation reflects the serious nature of domestic violence and the legal ramifications for those involved, particularly those in public life like Høiby, who is the son of Norway's crown princess. The ongoing court case against him will not only impact his personal life but also has broader implications for discussions surrounding accountability in cases of domestic abuse, especially when a prominent figure is involved. The outcome may set a precedent for how similar cases are handled in the future as public interest in justice for victims continues to grow.
