Norway braces for verdict in rape trial of crown princess's son Marius Borg Høiby

Oslo District Court will deliver its verdict on Monday in the trial of Marius Borg Høiby, 29, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, charged with 40 counts including four of rape. He denies the most serious offenses but admits lesser drug and traffic charges. Prosecutors seek 7 years and 7 months in prison, while his defense argues for 18 months. Høiby has been in custody since February, and his seriously ill mother has been placed on a lung transplant list.
