THE GUARDIAN: Marius Borg Høiby arrested on suspicion of assault and threats with knife as mother faces questions over Epstein
The son of Norway’s crown princess, Marius Borg Høiby, has been arrested on new charges just days before the start of his rape trial, as his mother continues to face questions over her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
The Oslo police district said Høiby had been arrested on Sunday evening on suspicion of assault, making threats with a knife and violating a restraining order.
The arrest came days before Høiby, 29, stands trial on charges of 38 offences including four counts of rape, the domestic abuse of a former partner and the illegal filming of a number of women without their knowledge or consent.
The trial is expected to start in Oslo on Tuesday and take place over seven weeks. Høiby has denied the most serious charges, including those of sexual abuse. » | Miranda Bryant, Nordic correspondent | Monday, February 2, 2026
