An Oslo appeals court has denied the release of Marius Borg Høiby, son of Princess Märtha Louise of Norway, who is awaiting trial on charges of rape and assault. The court determined that releasing Høiby poses a continued risk of re-offense. This decision reverses a previous lower court ruling that had considered granting him bail. Høiby is accused of multiple offenses, details of which have not been widely publicized due to reporting restrictions. He maintains his innocence. A verdict in the case is pending, and Høiby will remain in custody until then. The court’s reasoning centers on concerns about potential future criminal activity if he were to be released before the trial concludes.
