    As a Norwegian of some age, this entire case was one of the most jarring news stories I’ve encountered.

    Imagine following the news in the early 2000s. Our crown prince found love among the (extremely) common people, and got married to a woman who had a small child. Royalist tightbutts are pissing themselves at the breach of tradition but the rest of the country is charmed by the heartwarming love affair.

    News plastered for months and months of of a couple in love, and Marius the cuutest tiny blonde litte boy barely out of diapers and being adorable everywhere. And it fades out.

    20-something years pass, and news are going on about something “Marius Høiby…”

    Omg! I remember him! He was the cutes- WHAT THE FUCK

      I hate that our media has started dishing out any and all details including heresay for months when some court case or investigation of notoriety is going on. If it is a missing billionaires wife, a raping gynocologist, resurfacing of the same 30 year old murdered kids every 3 years or whatnot it is at the top of the newspapers for months. I don’t want to read about that shit.

      I don’t want assholes to get famous after doing illegal shenanigans. I would much rather read news about a farmer saving his horse. Or even shaving his horse which auto correct wanted me to type for that matter.

      I was thinking he looks almost too much like what some bad movie would cast as a eurotrash douche villain.

        I mean… He do be a real life euro trash douche villain. Maybe he looked at those characters and was like: You know what? I like this style.

    Høiby’s status as part of the royal family, he added, would “not mean that he is treated more leniently or strictly than if similar acts were committed by others”.

    We’ll see about that.

    “Our client denies all charges of sexual abuse, as well as the majority of the charges regarding violence. He will present a detailed account of his version of events before the court.”

    “Look. Now. Listen, let me explain. I only violently abused them a little bit. We’ve all done that. Right? It was just a tiny bit of violence!!”
