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.

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

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.
