Royal ‘rapist’ Marius Borg Hoiby now suspected of THIRD sex crime after ‘attacking two women who couldn’t fend him off’
After being detained on suspicion of raping two women, a Norwegian royal is now being investigated for a third sex offense.
Crown Prince Haakon’s eldest son, Marius Borg Hoiby, was freed from detention on Wednesday.
After the second rape accusation surfaced, Hoiby was first taken into jail on November 18 and a court ordered him to remain in custody for a week.
According to police, these alleged rapes took place “with someone who is unconscious or for other reasons unable to resist the act.”
Police did not elaborate on the fresh accusations against the 27-year-old prince, but they did say that he was accused of a third sex crime.
Authorities did not ask for an extension of his imprisonment, thus he was freed on Wednesday.

We can no longer see that there is a risk of evidence manipulation,” police stated.
Oyvind Bratlien, Hoiby’s attorney, asserted that the release demonstrated that the case against the prince had been considerably undermined.
The frightening Snapchat video that purportedly showed Hoiby simulating out how he would slap his ex has further increased criticism of the monarch.
He is shown in the brief video playing with his pals, looking down at the camera, and then slapping the phone while laughing.
The tape was released by the Norwegian magazine Se og H r, which claimed that it originated from a secret Snapchat group with about fifty members.
Additionally, they asserted that the film was created in answer to a query posed by another group member: “How did you break up with your last girlfriend?”

In addition, Hoiby has been charged with breaking a restraining order and physically abusing three ex-girlfriends.
Two distinct women were the subject of these orders.
This summer, Hoiby, the son of Norwegian crown princess Mette-Marit, and his legal issues were made public.
In the last three months, the king has been arrested three times in situations involving one guy and four women.
After being arrested in August for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend, he was eventually freed.
After being diagnosed with a concussion, the sufferer was released from the hospital the next day.
According to the local media, the purported victim’s bedroom had a knife embedded in one of the walls.
According to police last week, domestic abuse is now one of the accusations connected to the August incident.
In September, he was arrested once more for allegedly contacting his ex in violation of a restraining order.

Born in 1997, Hoiby was brought up by the Norwegian royal family following his mother’s 2001 marriage to Crown Prince Haakon.
However, unlike his half-siblings Prince Sverre Magnus, 18, and Princess Ingrid Alexandra, 20, Hoiby has no official public function.
