Overview
- The alleged Lofoten victim testified in Oslo, saying she woke in pain and describing the episode as her “worst nightmare.”
- Investigators recovered a roughly five‑second clip from Høiby's phone showing the woman’s lower torso, and heart‑rate readings were shown in court to support the claim she was sleeping at the start.
- Høiby pleaded not guilty to rape and told the court he believed the encounters were consensual, saying he does not initiate sex with sleeping partners.
- The 29‑year‑old remains in four weeks of pre‑trial detention after a recent arrest over alleged knife threats and a contact‑ban breach, which he denies, as he stands trial on 38 counts carrying a possible sentence of up to 16 years.
- Aftenposten reported that police questioned his biological father, Morten Borg, as a witness in connection with the latest arrest.
