00:01An Oslo court on Monday sentenced Norwegian crowned Princess Metemarit's son to four years in prison on two counts of
00:09rape and other offenses in a high-profile scandal that has rocked the monarchy.
00:15Marius Borg Hojby was accused of 40 charges from rape to traffic violations, carrying a maximum possible sentence of 16
00:22years in prison.
00:23Hojby, who is not formally part of the royal household and has no steady job, was acquitted for two other
00:30counts of rape and convicted of repeated domestic abuse against an ex-girlfriend, traffic violations, issuing threats and other offenses.
00:39Hojby had denied the most serious allegations, including the rape charges, although during the trial he acknowledged that jealousy sometimes
00:48made him lose control.
00:49The rapes of which he was accused occurred between 2018 and 2024.
00:55The women themselves did not file rape charges against Hojby.
00:59Instead, police investigating the August 2024 incident discovered videos on his phones and computers, which they said constituted rapes and
01:08contacted the women who were unaware of the events depicted.
01:11His defense team had called for him to serve 18 months for the other charges to which he pleaded guilty,
01:18including transporting 3.5 kilos of marijuana, physical assaults and threats.
01:25First, staff.
01:25Now, KS.
