Norwegian Crown Princess's Son Sentenced to 4 Years for Rape and Violence

Marius Borg Høiby, son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, has been sentenced to four years in prison for rape and domestic violence. The court acquitted him on two other rape charges, and he has the right to appeal.

This case, among other issues, has reportedly contributed to a decrease in the royal family's popularity. AI
