Marius Borg Hoiby, the eldest son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit, was sentenced to four years in prison Monday after being convicted of rape.

He was found guilty of two of the four rape charges he was facing and acquitted of the other two.

Hoiby had been charged with sexually assaulting four women who were asleep or otherwise unable to resist between 2018 and 2024.

He also faced other charges for lesser offences including assault, drug-related crimes and violations of a restraining order.

Hoiby had denied the rape allegations but admitted to several of the lesser offenses.
