Marius Borg Høiby, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, has been arrested for the third time this year, facing expanded charges including rape without intercourse.

The Oslo police apprehended him late Monday, extending the charges to include sexual acts with someone unable to resist, as well as domestic abuse and violation of restraining orders.

The case now involves four women and one man as victims.

Høiby denies the charges but is cooperating with the police.

His defense lawyer, Øyvind Bratlien, states that Høiby will provide a full explanation.

The police investigation continues, with no decision yet on whether Høiby will be detained further.
