The 27-year-old son of Norway’s crown princess has been accused of a second rape just days after he was arrested on suspicion of the same offense.

Police in Norway have arrested the 27-year-old son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit on suspicion of rape, saying the alleged victim was "unable to resist the act."

On Nov. 19, Crown Prince Haakon spoke about the arrest of his stepson, 27, the day prior. Crown Prince Haakon is Marius' stepfather through his marriage to Crown Princess Mette-Marit. Mette-Marit welcomed her son Marius during a relationship that preceded her 2001 marriage to Haakon, and Marius does not have a royal role within the monarchy.

Marius Borg Hoiby, 27, is the stepson of Norway's heir to the throne but has no royal title or official duties. Hoiby's lawyer, Oeyvind Bratlien, has said his client is innocent.

Marius Borg Hoiby, the stepson of Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, was arrested on Monday. His lawyer denied the accusation and said his client was cooperating with the authorities.

THE son of Norway’s crown princess had been arrested on suspicion of rape. Marius Borg Hoiby, 27, was detained by police on Monday evening in the latest scandal to rock the royal family.

Authorities confirmed that he was with the same woman from the August incident when he was arrested on Monday.

He was taken into custody on Monday in Oslo on a preliminary charge of having sexual intercourse with someone unconscious or unable to resist the act.
