Son of Norway's crown princess charged with rape and assault

OSLO (Reuters) -The son of Norway's crown princess has been charged with rape, domestic violence, assault and other crimes following a year-long police investigation, a prosecutor said on Monday. Marius Borg Hoiby, 28, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit and stepson to Crown Prince Haakon, is expected to stand trial early next year and could face up to 10 years in prison if found guilty of the most serious charges, the prosecutor said. Hoiby has denied the most serious accusations against him, including those of rape and domestic violence, his lawyer Ellen Holager Andenaes has said.
