- He admitted lesser offenses including offensive sexual behavior and traffic violations and entered partial guilt for aggravated assault and reckless behavior.
- An alleged victim testified she believes she was drugged at a 2018 after-party at the Skaugum residence; Høiby told the court he has never drugged anyone.
- Investigators testified that videos from his phone were moved to an app used to hide media and that he searched for terms such as “rape” before charges; he disputes that the videos show rape.
