The stepson of the King of Norway was sentenced for sexual assault. The court ruled that he should continue to be detained at home during the appeal.

On the 4th, a Norwegian court overturned a lower court's recent release ruling and ruled that Marius Borg Hoiby, the 29-year-old stepson of King Haakon of Norway and convicted of sexual assault, must continue to be detained at home and wear electronic shackles while awaiting appeal.

In June this year, Berghoibi was charged with a total of 40 crimes, with a maximum sentence of 16 years in prison. He was convicted of two sexual assaults and 32 other charges and was sentenced to 4 years in prison. Berghoibi appealed, and the relevant trial is expected to begin in February next year.

Berghoibi is the son of Haakon's wife, Queen Mette-Marit of Norway, and her former partner. He currently wears electronic shackles and is restricted to live in a royal estate outside Oslo.

Prosecutors had previously requested an extension to Berghoibi's detention. A Norwegian district court ruled on the 2nd that Berghoibi should be released and exempted from wearing electronic shackles while awaiting an appeal hearing.
