Oslo police have announced charges against the eldest son of Norway’s crown princess on multiple counts including rape, sexual assault and bodily harm.

Oslo police on Friday announced charges against Marius Borg Høiby, the eldest son of Norway’s crown princess, on multiple counts, including rape, sexual assault and bodily harm, after a months-long investigation of a case that involved a “double-digit” number of alleged victims.

The son of Norway's crown princess is suspected of three rapes and 23 other offences, police said on Friday. Marius Borg Høiby, who is the stepson of Norway's future king, was arrested three separate times last year, in August, September and November.
