Marius Borg Høiby has been sentenced to four years in prison after a court found him guilty of two of the four rape charges he faced, in a case that drew intense attention in Norway.
The verdict
The court convicted Høiby — the stepson of Norway's Crown Prince — on two counts while acquitting him on others. The sentencing marks the conclusion of a closely watched trial.
National attention
The case has been a sensitive matter in Norway given Høiby's proximity to the royal family. Court officials emphasised that the proceedings were handled according to standard legal process.
