The stepson of Norway’s Crown Prince Haakon was found guilty on Monday of rape and domestic violence and sentenced to four years in prison after a seven-week trial that has further dented the ‌royal family’s once picture-perfect image, Reuters<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

Oslo District Court ruled that 29-year-old Marius Borg Hoiby was guilty of two counts of rape including one in the basement of the crown prince’s home.<\/p>\n

Hoiby was also found guilty of domestic violence against a then girlfriend between mid-2022 and the autumn of 2023. He repeatedly hit her in the face with his fist, ‌choked her, ⁠slammed a door in her face and threw objects at her, the court heard during the trial.<\/p>\n

As noted, no other members of the royal family attended the trial.<\/p>\n
