The stepson of Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit is set to be released from custody after being arrested on rape charges last week. Marius Borg Høiby, Mette-Marit’s eldest stepson born before her marriage to the heir apparent to the Norwegian throne,

Marit, has been released after spending a week in custody on suspicion of committing sex offences. Police announced on Wednesday morning that they would not be seeking further pre-trial detention for the eldest son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit.

The son of Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit was arrested for allegedly raping a woman in Oslo — his third arrest in a matter of months, according to police.

A lawyer for the alleged victim said it was police who pursued the case and not her client, who she said is “having a hard time.”

Police in Norway have arrested the 27-year-old son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit on suspicion of rape, saying the alleged victim was "unable to resist the act."

Yesterday, Oslo police arrested Princess Mette-Marit's son, Marius Borg Høiby, on rape allegations.

Marit's son, Marius Borg Høiby, has been released from police custody after more than a week, amidst ongoing investigations into multiple allegations. Despite his release, new charges loom as police continue to scrutinize his past actions.
