Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s son released from police custody

Marius Borg Hoiby, the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway from a previous relationship, has been released from police custody.

He was arrested on Monday, 18 November.

He was suspected of violating the criminal code, “which concerns sexual intercourse with someone who is unconscious or for other reasons unable to resist the act.”

“What police can say about the rape is that it concerns a sexual act without intercourse. The victim is said to have been unable to resist the act,” they added.

Marius was previously detained in August after an incident at an apartment in Oslo. He was accused of causing bodily harm to the resident, said to have been his girlfriend. He was arrested again in September after he allegedly violated a restraining order.

According to the police, he was in the car with the alleged victim from the incident in August when he was arrested on Monday.

He was released today as it was no longer expected that he would try to destroy evidence. The police also announced that another case has been added to the list of things he has been accused of. He is also not allowed to contact two women.
