An Oslo court found Marius Borg Høiby, 29, the son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, guilty of two counts of rape and sentenced him to four years in prison. The court also convicted him of domestic violence and additional offences and acquitted him on other counts he faced. The case involves a close member of the royal family and is notable because it demonstrates Norway's legal system prosecuting and punishing high-profile individuals, a development likely to affect public confidence in the monarchy.
