Norwegian royal ‘raped TV presenter at party in the basement of family castle & cops now have vid of attack’

THE son of Norway's Crown Princess allegedly raped a TV presenter at a castle basement party - and police are believed to have a video of the claimed attack. The fresh allegations against Marius Borg Høiby, 28, son to princess Mette-Marit, are the latest in a scandalous saga involving the royal. Linni Meister, 39, who also sings and models, can't remember the alleged incident, and only became aware she had apparently been abused when police told her.

The presenter had been at a glam "party among friends" in the basement of royal pad Skaugum Castle in 2018 with Marius - who was just 21 at the time. Marius is known to have invited criminal friends - including member of the Hells Angels hang - to wild parties he called "Skaugum festivals". The party is said to have got "completely out of hand" and continued in the basement, whilst Marius's stepfather Crown Prince Haakon and his two siblings slept upstairs.

This is when the assault is alleged to have happened - although Linni doesn't remember it as she was unconscious. Allegations against Marius came to light when cops reportedly found three videos and more than 10 photos of an incident in the basement on his laptop. Linni was called into Oslo Police Station and presented with the material. Police are actively investigating the allegations, according to Norwegian magazine Se og Hør.

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.". Marius is yet to comment on the new claims. Marius has faced a string of allegation for various crimes, including rape, and was arrested multiple times last year. He was detained in August after allegedly attacking his former girlfriend but was later released.

The alleged victim was discharged from hospital the following day with a diagnosed concussion. Local media claimed a knife was stuck into one of the walls of the alleged victim's bedroom. MARIUS Borg Høiby has been charged with various crimes against numerous people. He arrested three times in four months in 2024. In January, police said they are nearing the end of their investigations. These are the allegations currently against him:.

He was detained again in September for violating a restraining order by allegedly contacting his ex. And he had previously been charged with abuse against ex-girlfriends Julianne Snekkestad and Nora Haukland, as well as with threatening a man. Then, in November, he was arrested on suspicion of rape of at least two women, with police detailing he was charged with having sex with "someone who is unconscious or for other reasons is unable to resist the act".

Police specified he was being investigated over allegations of three sex crimes. A judge ruled he must stay behind bars whilst the charges were being investigated. Soon after he was released, a shocking video of Marius surfaced that appeared to show him acting out how he would slap his ex. In the short clip, he can be seen playing around with his friends then staring down at the camera before throwing a slap towards the phone as he laughs.

Norwegian magazine Se og Hør published the clip and said it came from a private Snapchat group that has around 50 members. They also claimed the video was made in response to a question by one of the other group members who asked: "How did you break up with your last girlfriend?". Hoiby was born in 1997 and raised by the Norwegian royals after his mother married Crown Prince Haakon in 2001. Despite this, Marius has no official public role - unlike his half siblings Princess Ingrid Alexandra, 20, and Prince Sverre Magnus, 18.
