Marius Borg Høiby is suspected of having sexually abused several women. Another alleged victim is now public: a Norwegian moderator. She is said to have only learned about the abuse by the police.
According to the Norwegian newspaper “Se OG Hør”, there should be new allegations against the eldest son of Crown Princess Mette Marits. Marius Borg Høiby has been investigated by the police since last summer. Among other things, the 28-year-old is accused of alleged assault and property damage. In addition, it is said to have driven a car under the influence of alcohol and without a driver's license. In the meantime, Høiby is arrested, sits in custody. Then new accusations become public: The stepson of the future Norwegian king Haakon is said to have sexually abused at least two women. According to a report by the Norwegian public service broadcaster NRK, civil servants found stressful material on his phone. A video should show how Høiby touches a defenseless woman who is apparently under the influence of drugs and alcohol. He is said to have filmed the crime himself, writes NRK.
A further evaluation of the mobile phone data is now said to have shown that there should be another victim of abuse. According to “SE OG Hør”, it should be the Norwegian model Linni Meister, who also moderates a dating show. The 39-year-old has been friends with Mette-Marit's son for years.

According to the newspaper, she only found out about the alleged abuse incident when she was invited to the police station. Not knowing what it really was about is said to have raved about her “wonderful” and polite “friend. Then the police are said to have shown her a video on which Høiby is supposed to be on her and films. The material should only come from 2018 with friends.
“I can confirm that the Linni police invited you to interrogate last week and submitted to her that she has become the victim of an assault,” John Christian Elde, Meister's lawyer, told the newspaper. His client was “shocked”. She cooperates in the investigation, but wants to protect her family and therefore do not express themselves publicly. Marius Borg Høibys Øyvind Bratlien claimed, however, that he had not received any documents from the police for these new allegations.
