Høiby is Mette-Marit's son from her previous relationship and the stepson of Norwegian Crown Prince Haakon. The case has therefore long attracted attention also because of his ties to the royal family. According to available information, the proceedings concerned several serious accusations, including violence against one of his former girlfriends. Die Zeit ↗

The court found him guilty in two of the four rape cases with which he was charged. According to available reports, it acquitted him on the other two rape counts. The verdict also includes domestic violence and other acts that the court examined as part of the broader case. RTE News ↗
