The prosecution in Norway is seeking a lengthy prison sentence of seven years and seven months for Marius Borg Høibyl, 29, stemming from charges that include 39 offenses, among which are serious allegations of rape and assault. This demand was presented during a court session on Wednesday, with the trial taking place in Oslo and expected to conclude by March 19.

In addition to the prison term, the prosecutor has called for a two-year suspension of Høibyl's driving license and the confiscation of his devices. Furthermore, they propose that Marius be prohibited from contacting the victim, referred to as the 'Frogner woman,' for a period of two years. It's important to note that Høibyl's proposed prison sentence has been reduced by 63 days due to the time he has already spent in custody prior to these proceedings.

The outcome of the case is still pending, and it may take several months before a verdict is announced by the judges. Marius, who is the firstborn son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, denies the charges of rape and other serious offenses against him, but the high-profile nature of this case is drawing significant public and media attention, highlighting both the legal proceedings and the implications for his family.
