The Oslo public prosecutor's office demanded a sentence of seven years and seven months in prison for Marius Borg Høiby, son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, who appears in hundreds of the so-called Epstein files, and businessman Morten Borg, with whom she had a brief affair.

The stepson of the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Haakon, Høiby faces 38 counts with a total sentence of 16 years in prison.

The charges include rape, abuse in an intimate relationship against a former partner, acts of violence against another person and transporting 3.5 kilos of marijuana.

Other charges include death threats and traffic violations.

 The 29-year-old admits some of the crimes, but denies the most serious charges, including the rape of four women who could not resist.

"Rape can leave indelible scars and destroy lives," said prosecutor Sturla Henriksbø on the last day of the seven-week trial at the Oslo court. "This can be something that the victim will carry with them for life," he added.
