Marius Borg Høiby Makes Low-Key Arrival at Grandfather King Harald's Funeral - Despite House Arrest
The palace said he will not perform official duties as Oslo police extended his electronic monitoring to Oct. 5.
- Marius Borg Høiby left Skaugum to join the Norwegian Royal Family at the funeral of King Harald in Oslo today, though he remains unconvicted as his case proceeds through appeal.
- This past June, Høiby was convicted of two rapes and other offenses totaling 34 charges, receiving a four-year prison sentence; he filed for appeal soon after sentencing.
- While awaiting trial, Høiby has served house arrest at Skaugum; The Oslo Police argued there is a 'clear danger' of new offenses, extending his detention until October 5.
- Defense attorney Petar Sekulic defended Høiby's inclusion in royal events, stating it does not imply disrespect for victims; Sekulic said Høiby consented to further detention to avoid distracting from King Harald's death.
- The appeal trial is not expected until next year, during which Høiby will not conduct any official activities on the Royal Family's behalf.
