Norway crown princess's son to stay in custody before rape verdict, says court

Thr ruling overturns a lower court's decision on Monday ordering the release of the crown princess's 29-year-old son.

Marius Borg Høiby, 29, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, was detained in Oslo on charges including four alleged rapes and assaults on former partners, with prosecutors seeking a four-week custody period due to concerns he may reoffend.

Norway's Borgarting Court of Appeal ruled that Marius Borg Høiby, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, will remain in pretrial detention, overturning a lower court ruling that would have allowed his release, citing a high risk of reoffending.
