A court in Oslo sentenced Marius Borg Hoiby. He must go to prison for 4 years. The court found him guilty in 34 cases. He hurt 2 women very much. He was violent to his former girlfriends. He hit them. He made them afraid. In one case he hit a face with his fist.
Hoiby must pay Schmerzensgeld to the women. That is 58,000 Euro in total. 4 women get this money. One woman gets money for Verdienst-Ausfall. She could not work. She suffered at the place Skaugum. Another woman was unconscious. The court says: Everyone follows the law.
Hoiby was not in the court room. He watched the video from prison. He said: I am ill. Before the trial he was angry in his cell. His lawyer wants a new trial. He uses the Berufung. That means: A new court checks the case again.
Marius Borg Hoiby is the son of Mette-Marit. She is the Crown Princess of Norway. He is not part of the official Royal House. His mother is very ill. She needs a new lung. The case is hard for the Royal Family. Many people in Norway talk about the scandal now.
