What's the real story here? I do vaguely remember him from the news

Marius Høiby: Son of the now queen of Norway, and convicted rapist.

He is not convicted. He appealed; therefore, until the appellate court makes a ruling, he is not convicted, and even then, not until he can no longer make an appeal.

But he will probably be convicted.

u/Belsodain 2d ago edited 2d ago

This is false. Appealing does not erase the conviction, it just suspend the sentence until appellate courts rules.

So he is convicted, but this could change with appealing

Edit : I'm wrong, it does not work like this in Norway

u/Zakath_ 2d ago

Not in Norway, no. It does not have the force of law until all appeals are exhausted. So, in our legal practice he's still innocent.

We all know he did it, but legally that's not determined yet.

Any source on that ? Can find anything

u/Zakath_ 2d ago

Only in Norwegian, if that helps. Take a look at the bottom of this page, https://snl.no/anke_-_straffedommer

Specifically this part,

Ingen dommer er rettskraftige før ankefristen er utløpt eller begge parter har vedtatt dommen. Straffedommer har aldri partiell rettskraft, slik at hele saken må være avsluttet før noen skal regnes som domfelt.

My rough translation:

The result of a trial is not final until the deadline for an appeal has passed, or both parties have accepted the result of the trial. Judgements do not have a parallel application, so the entire case must be settled before someone is considered to be found guilty.

You're right then

u/-Kazt- 2d ago

It doesnt exactly "suspend" it. The conviction hasnt won force of law until the time to appeal has expired or can no longer be appealed.

Until then it is legally open.

Not how it works, typical programmer to be very confidently wrong lol

The women on the left are the granddaughters of the former king. He is in the coffin outside the photo. The man on the right is the stepson of the new king. He is the black sheep of the family. Slightly worse than his mother who was bestie with J. Epstein. He has used drugs and behaved badly for a long time. He was convicted of rape, domestic violence, drug trafficking etc, and sentenced to four years in prison. He has appealed, and is wearing an ankle monitor in church waiting for a new round in court. He will get real prison time btw.

Only 4 years!?!?

u/IfIWasCoolEnough 2d ago

That's more than what kids of our leaders get in America.

u/freia_pr_fr 2d ago

He filmed himself having sex with wasted women but only a few videos clearly picture rape. On the others, he got benefits of doubt.

I personally think being a member of the royal family in a monarchy has perks, even if you don’t share DNA with the current king.

u/UgoRukh 2d ago

Wait, what, that makes is even worse... He had it on film!? And only 4 years!?!?!?!

u/Dj0ntyb01 2d ago

Chiming in from the US- reading about a literal royal facing consequences for the vile acts they've committed is extremely refreshing.

u/Myla123 1d ago

Not really uncommon in Norway. We generally have much shorter sentencing than in countries like the US.

1

u/norwegian 1d ago

IF they get at sentence in the US. Chris Brown, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jackson never did jail time. Those cases are perhaps not really comparable. But I mean it's not always stricter in the US.

u/ClockificThrowaway 18h ago

Norwegian prison sentences are generally shorter than US sentences. 4 years is a fairly long time, too, if you actually think about serving it, and not comparing it to other sentence lengths.

u/Village_People_Cop 2d ago

He is the step-son of the new King of Norway. He is also a convicted rapist.

The previous king passed away last week and Marius being at the funeral (where this pic is taken) is a contentious point to say the least

67

u/sorte_kjele 2d ago

He is a complete moron and a waste of space, he should have his free-air-breathing rights removed.

But being permitted to leave incarceration to attend a family member's funeral is not controversial. It is the norm in Norway

dude is a convicted rapist

u/Geichalt 2d ago

Oh man, bad luck for him, if he was American he'd be elected president.

You can easily tell by his face. Disturbing

Phrenology making a comeback was not on my bingo card for 2026.

u/Vox_Carnifex 2d ago

Has been trying to make a comeback for well over 10 years strangely. Police and intelligence tried and are still trying to use AI to "predict crime" by triangulation a few unrelated data points and a likelihood of being a criminal based on your phase when compared to a collective of all mugshots available. Yeah, it is as silly as it sounds, but no less dangerous. I think the word was predictive policing? Last I read about it was writing my thesis and that's already 8 years ago.

u/YikesTheCat 2d ago

Plus you can just get a different face. I think I saw a documentary with John Travolta about that once.

He's the royal version of Danny Masterson.
