New Indictment Dropped Mid-Trial! Høiby Admits Restraining Order Breach as Court Widens Case
Dramatic developments in Oslo District Court as prosecutor Sturla Henriksbø announces a new additional indictment against Marius Borg Høiby — alleging reckless conduct and breach of a restraining order involving the so-called Frogner woman just days before trial began.
According to the indictment, Høiby is accused of calling her an “unfaithful whore,” breaking his phone, grabbing her as she tried to leave, and later sitting beside her with a knife while threatening to harm himself. He acknowledges criminal responsibility for the reckless conduct and restraining order breach. His defence says: “He has always acknowledged that. There is nothing new here.”
We also cover testimony from Nora Haukland’s sister, her PR adviser describing “lovebombing” and manipulation, text messages including “You have to choose. Me or Farmen,” and a witness who said at Oslo Scene, “There was no doubt that he went for a chokehold.”
Plus: a former inmate finally testifies, a close friend defends Høiby’s character, and prosecutors seek a 400,000 kroner fine against NRK for violating court photo restrictions.
The proceedings have formally widened. Wednesday will bring the formal reading of the new indictment and the expected testimony of the Frogner woman.

3
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:21.760
When court opened on Tuesday, Prosecutor Stirler Henrixbow informed Oslo
4
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.280
District Court that a new additional indictment had been issued
5
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.920
against Marius borg Hoibi. The new charges concerned reckless conduct
6
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:33.119
and breach of a restraining order involving the so called
7
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.679
Frogner Woman. The alleged incident took place in his apartment
8
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.759
in the early hours of February first, just days before
9
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.960
this trial began. According to the indictment, during the night
10
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.200
on Sunday, February first, at four forty six, A M.
11
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.520
Waebe called the Frogner Woman an unfaithful whore and shouted,
12
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.000
let me see your phone. He then broke his phone
13
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.640
in front of her and grabbed her and the door
14
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:59.399
when she tried to leave the apartment, causing her to
15
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.439
hit her head on the door. It is further alleged
16
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:04.439
that he sat down beside her holding a knife and
17
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.319
threatened to harm himself if she left or contacted police.
18
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.840
He is also charged with maintaining contact with her between
19
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.760
December sixteenth twenty twenty five and February first, twenty twenty six,
20
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.799
despite an active restraining order, webe acknowledges criminal responsibility for
21
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.560
the reckless conduct and restraining order breach. His defense attorney,
22
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.120
Peter Seculate, told the court he has always acknowledged that
23
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.959
there is nothing new here. The earliest suspicion of knife
24
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.400
threats and bodily assault was dropped as a separate charge.
25
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:36.200
Henry s Burg explained why the new indictment was brought
26
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.640
during the trial. If these matters had not now been
27
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.480
formally handled, they would have been left hanging afterward once
28
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.040
the main hearing was finished, and because of the resources
29
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.079
required to conduct such a criminal case, they likely would
30
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.640
not have been processed at all. So we are satisfied
31
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:53.359
that we had found a way to have them dealt with.
32
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.480
The court approved that the new changes will be folded
33
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.599
into the ongoing proceedings. The Frogner woman is expected to
34
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:05.120
testify Wednesday. Her legal counsel, Meta Yvonne Larsen replied using
35
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.280
ais sister translation, the vibe of the reply was roughly,
36
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:11.840
it is an aggravating circumstance that he attacked her right
37
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:16.319
before the case began. That development framed the rest of
38
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.000
the day. The remainder of the day focused on the
39
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:23.159
account of abuse in a close relationship involving Norah Hauckland,
40
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.800
which Hoeby denies. The first witness was Nora Helkland's sister.
41
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.840
She described her initial impression of Hoeby. He is very pleasant, cheerful,
42
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.840
and easy to get to know. She then said she
43
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.039
quickly grew fond of him and understood why her sister
44
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.919
did as well. When asked about his background, she said,
45
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.080
I don't think those of us who have grown up
46
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.000
in a normal family, had a normal life, can understand
47
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.560
how difficult it has been to Marius. She testified that
48
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.120
she did not learn of alleged violence until after the
49
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.120
relationship ended in the summer of twenty twenty three. She
50
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.199
had a very hard time telling me how it was
51
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.919
because she tried so hard to keep the relationship together,
52
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.639
and she probably knew that when she was open and
53
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:02.919
honest about it, then no one would support the two
54
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.080
of them anymore. She said. Her sister told her he
55
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.759
has actually hit me, he has actually taken a chokehold
56
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:10.759
on me. When they tried to ask more about it,
57
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.240
she said helcland broke down crying. The sister said she
58
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.520
herself had never witnessed physical violence, and added, I have
59
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.000
not been worried about anything physical or that she would
60
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:21.879
not come out of it. Okay, I trust that she
61
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:26.680
makes good choices. Helkland's pr adviser described the relationship as
62
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:30.319
volatile and emotionally intense. She said there was a lot
63
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.960
of up and down and what she described as love bombing.
64
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.280
In the police interview, she had used the word manipulated,
65
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.960
and in court she elaborated, I experienced that he knew
66
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.280
exactly what to do and say, in which buttons to
67
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.240
press to get her to come back to him. I
68
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.240
consider that to be quite a deep form of manipulation.
69
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:52.719
She also described episodes where Hauckland declined TV opportunities and
70
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:58.919
collaborations because Hoyby objected. Police officer Mina Bankerud read text
71
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.080
messages from January sixth, twenty twenty three, concerning Halcln's potential
72
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:06.879
participation in the television program Farman Hoiby wrote, you get
73
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.120
no possible support from me, and you have to choose me,
74
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.080
me or fireman. It's as simple as that. Alkeln responded
75
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.759
that he was asking her to choose between him and
76
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.560
her life and career more crown and controversy in just
77
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:25.920
a moment. One of the more significant witnesses Tuesday was
78
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.120
a man who had been present at Oslo scene in
79
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.079
December of twenty twenty two. He clarified he was not
80
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.000
a security guard, despite earlier references. He described seeing a
81
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.199
young woman run out shouting leave me alone. A man
82
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.839
followed her. He said, I thought this smells like trouble.
83
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:43.839
He said he saw the man move toward her upper
84
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.199
chest and neck area with an outstretched arm. There was
85
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.720
no doubt that he went for a chokehold. He later
86
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.319
said he perceived it at the time as a jealousy incident.
87
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:57.399
He also described Hoeby as nonchalant. Afterward, a close friend
88
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.920
of Heiby, who has known him almost all his life,
89
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.360
fight about both the relationship and an alleged twenty eighteen
90
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.800
Skalgum after party connected to one of the rape counts,
91
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.000
which Wabbe denies. Asked how he sees Hoyby, the friend said,
92
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.240
I know Marius as a very happy, kind and playful boy.
93
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.319
He added that he has distanced himself from media coverage.
94
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:19.800
The picture that has been painted of him is not
95
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.959
one I recognize about the twenty eighteen gathering at Skalgum.
96
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.279
He described it as a fairly calm after party. It
97
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:31.920
was nothing memorable. A man who was incarcerated with Hoyby
98
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:36.360
in twenty twenty four testified after having twice failing to appear.
99
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:41.399
He said they did not really discuss the case in depth. Separately,
100
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.639
the prosecution requested a four hundred thousand crone of fine
101
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.519
against NRK for violating the court's photo restrictions on the
102
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.879
first day of trial. Henry spot wrote that the fine
103
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:56.079
must have a noticeable and deterrent effect that's about forty
104
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:01.040
one thousand US dollars. The prosecution considers ni case identification
105
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.120
of two of the complainants to be very serious. The
106
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.439
breach of the court's permission and identification of complainants is
107
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.959
likely to weaken the complainants and witnesses trust that they
108
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.079
can appear and explain themselves in court with the shielding
109
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.759
the court has promised them. The identification is irreversible once
110
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:22.120
it occurs. The proceedings have now formally widened. Marius borg
111
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.360
Hoebi has admitted criminal responsibility for the new charges of
112
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.160
reckless conduct and breach of the restraining order. At the
113
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.240
same time, he continues to deny the most serious allegations
114
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.639
against him, including rape and abuse in a close relationship.
115
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.600
The portion of the case dealing with the abuse allegations
116
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.600
involving Norah Hauckland now appears to be nearing the end
117
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.160
of its witness phase. On Wednesday, the new indictment will
118
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.519
be formally read out in court and Hoeby will enter
119
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:51.120
his formal plea on those additional charges. The Frogner woman
120
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.519
is expected to begin her testimony and the court will
121
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:57.680
move into a new evidentiary phase focused on that relationship.
