Overview
- Prosecutor Sturla Henriksbø requested a prison term of seven years and seven months for Høiby after closing arguments in Oslo District Court.
- Høiby faces roughly 38–40 counts that include four rape allegations, domestic abuse, threats, drug offenses, traffic violations, and resisting police.
- Police say phones and computers seized following his August 4, 2024 arrest yielded incriminating videos and other digital material used by the prosecution.
- Through his lawyers, Høiby denies the most serious accusations and acknowledges only minor infractions as the court hears final submissions from victims’ counsel and the defense.
- Norway’s royal household has distanced itself and declined comment, and some outlets report his name appears in documents linked to the so‑called Epstein files.
