The stepson of Norway’s Crown Prince Haakon has been found guilty of two counts of rape, one count of domestic violence and other crimes and is sentenced to four years in prison, an Oslo court ruled on Monday.

Axar.az reports, citing NBC News, Marius Borg Hoiby, 29, who joined the royal family when his mother Mette-Marit married Haakon in 2001, was acquitted on two other accounts of rape.

He had pleaded not guilty to the most severe accusations against him, including those of rape, while admitting to some lesser ones, and can appeal the verdict.

Prosecutors had asked that Hoiby should be sentenced to seven years and seven months of prison.

The seven-week trial gripped the Nordic country, detailing Hoiby’s drug addiction, self-made videos of sexual encounters and more than 800 electronic messages entered into evidence.

One alleged rape took place in the basement of the crown prince’s family home, the court heard.
