Overview
- A woman testified about a November 2024 hotel encounter in Oslo, saying she repeatedly awoke to painful touching in her genital area and at one point froze before falling back asleep.
- Investigators say 27 videos and four photos from that night were recorded between 5:17 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., with some clips showing the woman asleep; she later contacted police after suspecting she had been filmed.
- A former Kripos investigator told the court Høiby purchased the Private Photo Vault app at 10:02 a.m. on March 24, 2024, roughly two hours after an alleged assault, and that sexualized files and a Snapchat handle screenshot were found on his iPhone.
- Police and court reports indicate additional compromising material was recovered from a MacBook Pro, and a sleep expert testified that a woman in the videos appeared immobile in a way consistent with inability to resist.
- The prosecutor confirmed Høiby will remain in custody through the trial and up to four weeks after under Norwegian law; he pleads not guilty to four alleged rapes among 38 total charges.
