Norwegian prosecutors seek seven years imprisonment for crown princess's son Marius Borg Høiby on rape and assault charges
Prosecutors in Oslo district court requested a seven year and seven month prison sentence for Marius Borg Høiby, son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, arguing he should be found guilty of 39 of 40 charges including four counts of rape and assault. The 29-year-old has denied the most serious charges but pleaded guilty to lesser offenses including drug and traffic violations. The trial, which has lasted over six weeks, is expected to conclude this week with judges taking several months to reach a verdict.
