The presenter, Linni Meister, 39, reportedly did not remember the alleged incident and only became aware of it after she was informed by law enforcement officials.
Marius, who is under investigation for multiple sexual assault cases, has not commented on the latest allegations. The assault is believed to have taken place in 2018 at a 'party among friends' in the basement of Skaugum Castle in 2018 - when Marius was 21. Marius reportedly dubbed these parties 'Skaugum Festivals' and reportedly invited his criminal friends - including members of the Hells Angel gang.
The event is believed to have gotten 'completely out of hand' and continued in the castle basement after Marius' stepfather, Crown Prince Haakon, slept upstairs. It was during the party that Marius allegedly raped Linni while she was unconscious, local media reported. Cops became aware of the incident after discovering three videos and more than 10 photos of the incident on Marius' laptop, it was reported.
Linni was informed about the alleged assault at the Oslo Police Station, where she was shown the reportedly incriminating evidence. After initial reports in Norwegian media, Linni took to her Snapchat to write:. 'I woke up to my phone falling to the floor, as it was being rung by the Norwegian and foreign press. I understand that there are many who want to comment on the case Se og Hør is reporting today, but I will not comment on it, other than that it is true,' she writes, and continues:.
'Mostly to protect myself and my family, and because I really feel for the person's family. This has to end and we can't have this anymore, or more victims, so I really hope the person gets serious help.'. John Christian Elden, Linni's lawyer, told the magazine: 'In a crime of this kind, this is highly unusual, and it is also rare that a suspect really benefits from it. But of course it is his right. He can refuse to testify.'.
