Overview
- Mette-Marit and Crown Prince Haakon visited Marius Borg Høiby in the Oslo jail on Thursday evening, a rare private visit documented by Se og Hør photos.
- In court, Høiby said he has "never put anyone under drugs — as far as I know" and disputed allegations tied to a 2018 party at Skaugum.
- Prosecutors presented phone videos and browser history showing searches for terms such as "rape" and "sleep rape"; Høiby said he searched after reading rumors about himself.
- He pleaded not guilty to four rape counts and one domestic-violence charge, while admitting lesser offenses including traffic violations and one unlawful intimate recording.
- He remains in four-week remand following a pretrial re-arrest over alleged knife threats and contact-order violations, as his defense notes health issues and medication use.
