Overview
- Marius Borg Høiby was convicted and sentenced to four years in prison on June 15 for multiple offences including two rape convictions and partner violence.
- On July 13 the court ordered his continued pretrial custody under an electronic ankle monitor and he moved from Ila prison to a house near the Skaugum estate.
- Prosecutors plan to ask the Oslo District Court at the custody-review hearing on Monday, August 10 to extend his electronically monitored detention by four weeks, citing remaining risk of re-offending.
- His defence says he has entered the RISK anti-violence programme and is sober and will oppose further detention, while legal experts note time in electronically monitored custody is treated as equivalent to prison time and will be credited to any sentence.
- An immediate appeal of the June verdict has been filed and an appellate hearing is expected in winter 2026/2027, so Monday’s decision will primarily determine his short-term freedom rather than the final outcome.
