Marius Borg Høiby, 29, son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, stands convicted of two rape counts and has received a four-year prison sentence.

The Oslo District Court panel of three judges dismissed two additional rape allegations but upheld convictions on numerous other charges brought against him.

Although absent from the courtroom, Høiby participated in the proceedings through a video connection.

While prosecutors sought a sentence of seven years and seven months, the defense requested 18 months; an appeal remains possible.

Having joined the royal family at age four through his mother's marriage, Høiby was raised in that environment yet holds no royal status himself.

Crown Princess Mette-Marit suffers from pulmonary fibrosis and awaits a lung transplant. Defense efforts to secure temporary release for family time due to her condition were noted.

Following the ruling, attorney Petar Sekulic renewed the request for his client's release.

Judge Jon Sverdrup Efjestad opened the Monday session by outlining the findings ahead of the detailed 128-page judgment.

Despite denying all rape accusations, Høiby was found guilty of assaulting two women: one incident occurred at the Skaugum estate in 2018, another in Oslo during 2024.

Additional convictions include mistreatment of former partner, influencer Nora Haukland.

Acquittals covered claims from a hotel encounter in Oslo in November 2024 and a 2023 vacation meeting in Lofoten.

Six women featured in the proceedings, yet only one attended the verdict announcement.

Prosecutors described one victim as incapacitated or asleep following consensual activity at an Oslo party in March 2024.

Video evidence recorded by Høiby supported the case; the woman testified she was unconscious and would not have consented.

The court determined the victim lacked capacity to resist.

Each rape charge pertained to victims who were asleep or otherwise incapacitated.

Further convictions involved abuse and reckless conduct toward a sixth woman from Oslo's Frogner district, where his arrest took place in August 2024.

Compensation totaling 640,000 kroner was ordered to four victims, among them Nora Haukland, the sole individual permitted to be identified.
