What I don't understand is why Marius is fighting in court to continue having contact with the woman from Frogner when it's obvious she doesn't want that.
One suspects that he wants to influence her potential statements in court.

Who is the "women from Frogner"? The one it all started with? This one was a victim of a burglary over Easter - nothing was stolen, but there were strangers in her apartment, in which Marius had roughed her up.

Exactly, it all started with the Frogner woman, although I remember it wasn't herself, but a friend who called the police. I have also read about the burglary in her apartment, if this has any connection to her case with Marius or not we don't know, but it is a weird coincidence.
 
It does look odd.
A burglary is one thing, that happens. But a burglary where nothing is stolen is odd. - Okay, they could have been disturbed but I can't free myself of the thought that it was intimidation.

The Frogner woman is also the case where there is actual physical evidence of attack. Knife in the wall and marks of violence on her body as well as the apartment being messed up.
So the Frogner women may be the strongest card against Marius, because drug-rape is notoriously difficult to prove, even with video evidence.
The other cases of abuse are based on the victim's accounts and witnesses.

However, it does look weird that Marius is going to such lengths to control the Frogner women. Does she know anything, she could talk or be questioned about?
Or is it an abuser trying to maintain the control he obviously already had over his victim?

I suppose an abuser affirms his sense of power and self esteem, (feed of if you prefer,) from controlling his victim.

That would make sense if Marius was conducting his own defense, but it would be a highly risky strategy for any attorney to allow.

I wonder if some of these efforts to get the restraining order tossed (and other things) are "trial balloons" to see how various arguments and strategies land with the court. By ruling against whatever arguments they put forward to fight the restraining order, the court is showing them that line of reasoning won't fly. So, they won't lean on it when they get to the main case.

It also gives them a sense of how things play out in the media and with the public, although I'm not sure that even matters at this point.
 
When is Marius going to actually go on trial? This summer, this autumn, next Christmas? It’s all becoming a huge farce. Have the police and authorities not got enough evidence yet? When are they going to get enough to put this man on trial? Will it be in the years 2026/2030? Who knows!
 
Se og Hør wins the media award for the Marius case, which the jury refers to as the biggest news story of the year. The Norwegian Media Association presented when this year's media awards at the Ole Bull Scene in Bergen.
Se og Hør's coverage of Marius Borg Høiby is described as "a journalistic powerhouse that has dominated the news landscape, uncovered critical matters and had significant social consequences."

– I think Marius deserves a vote. He has been bullied. Almost everyone hates him.
"Erik", who has known Marius for ten years, tells VG.
In the podcast series "Kompisen till Marius" ("Marius' Friend") he tells his and Marius' version of the case that has dominated the news for the past six months.

Ny podkastserie: â Synes Marius fortjener en stemme

For første gang fÃ¥r man høre historien til en som stÃ¥r kronprinsessens sønn nær. ââ  Et ansvar for Ã¥ vise ulike sider, sier VGs nyhetsredaktør.
www.vg.no www.vg.no

Se og Hør and Dagbladet claimed last fall that the thieves took valuable silverware from the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's residence at Skaugum in Asker.
The Palace rejects this:
– We have not been able to uncover that anything of great value has been stolen from Skaugum, in the manner claimed in several articles, writes the Palace's communications manager Guri Ofstad Varpe in an email to VG.
The statement comes in connection with VG's new podcast series "Kompisen til Marius", in which a close friend of Marius talks about what has happened in the group of friends - behind all the scandal headlines - over the past year.

Ny podkast om Marius Borg Høiby: Slottet avviser tyveri på Skaugum

I en ny podkastdokumentar avviser Slottet for første gang påstander om at venner av Marius Borg Høiby stjal verdifullt sølvtøy.
www.vg.no www.vg.no

Well, why did it take so long for the Palace to comment the alleged theft?

Se og Hør's editor-in-chief Ulf Andre Anderses says that they stand by the information that has been published:
- Based on the information that the Palace has provided now, we believe that no new information has emerged that makes the case untenable.
The palace also says that they haven't been contacted by any auction house in connection with any attempts to sell silverware and states that they are also not aware of any members of the "Hells Angels" having been on the property.
- It's interesting that she uses the wording "are not aware", because that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. We know that there have been people from the Hells Angels at Skaugum, and we can document that. We have also published videos from inside the private apartment of the Crown Prince couple, which show that there has been free access for people who should never have been to Skaugum.

As For Marius friend Erik, he can invite Marius to stay with him as a permanent house-guest if he is so sorry for him.
Erik says Marius deserves a voice, no, Marius victims deserves a voice

Right! Plus, Marius has a voice. In fact, he has declined to use it to speak to the police several times. And, if Marius decided he wanted to "tell his story," I'm sure editors and producers all over Norway would jump at the chance to interview him.
 
"Marius Borg Høiby's friend confirms in the podcast that the Crown Prince and Princess's residence has been the venue for several parties. The friend believes that Høiby has been "a bit careless" with whom he has invited to these gatherings.
– Maybe Marius was a little too bad to say no, says the anonymous friend in the podcast series."

But yet this friend assures that no Hells Angels were in the residence. From the looks of it neither Marius nor the Crown Prince couple had any clue of what was going on in their own home. Turning a blind eye is easy for some.

And the Palace saying they are not aware of any silverware stolen. They were also not aware of a royal credit card being stolen and used inappropriately. Alas, taxpayer money 🙄😉
 
Television presenter and entertainer Sigrid Bonde Tusvik believes that the podcast "Marius' Friend" trivializes and excuses allegations of violence in Marius' previous relationships. She has heard two of the three episodes and is reacting, she says in her own podcast.
– I am reacting to how the allegations of violence in all the relationships Marius has had are almost trivialized and excused in the podcast, Tusvik writes in a text message to VG. She says that VG's podcast is like "washing away mental and physical violence". When VG asks her to elaborate on what she means by this, she replies:
– There is a big problem with violence in close relationships in Norway (..)

Reputation expert Trond Blindheim doesn't believe that Marius would benefit from anonymous friends telling "his side of the story." He doesn't think Norwegians will have greater sympathy and understanding for him after hearing the podcast. He also reacts to the fact that Marius has "sent a buddy into the fire for him", instead of telling his side of the story himself.
– Letting a close friend speak warmly about themselves in a VG podcast is like getting your mother to write your job reference. It's well-intentioned, but it doesn't help much, Blindheim tells Nettavisen.

VG’s rubbish journalism about Marius Borg Høiby
PR advisor Jarle Aabø butchers VG’s podcast about Marius in yesterday’s episode of the podcast NESS.
Aabø casts a critical eye on VG, which he accuses of breaking The Ethical Code of Practice for the Norwegian Press with a podcast about Marius. VG let an anonymous source, presented via an actor, speak out about Marius, which Aabø calls “journalistic garbage” without any source-critical value. “The motivation is clicks and money, not social significance,” he states.

I agree with this in terms of his psychology. What it still doesn't explain to me is why a lawyer would go along with it.

Either the lawyer has no control or the constant pursuit of to overturn the restraining order must serve some sort of legal purpose. I think it may be that they don't want a standing order when the trial starts as it may come up in any future trial process as a mark against Marius. (Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know what would be admissible in Norwegian courts, but know that it could be allowed in American ones.) However, the dogged pursuit of "seeking contact" seems to be playing with fire because it begins to look like harassment in its own right if it goes too far and gets interpreted exactly as you did above--which is not a good look.

Edited for grammar and clarity.

Just for some fun, I can give us all a rough estimate on how much was stolen at minimum. I used to sell sterling silver flatware as part of a job when I worked with brides. I sold them linens, China, crystal and flatware, etc.

On average, a new, fairly standard 5-piece service for one person goes for about $1200-1400 USD. Most people buy at least 8 place settings, but I would assume that a royal family has enough for 12, 14 or 16 place settings. Since only the Palace knows how many pieces they have missing, I'll just guess. I'm pretty sure they took the entire set since they usually come conveniently in a wooden box . . . So, if they took 12 place settings (just to choose what would be a "normal" order), you are at $14,400 to $16,800 USD in loss. (Maybe this isn't of great value to the Palace?) I am not accounting for serving pieces or the fact that there may be any historical value to the silver. There are huge 1000 piece historical sets that go for hundreds of thousands of dollars. I sort of doubt it was one of those because they'd almost have to disclose loosing one of those and that would be too audacious for a thief anyway. Also, it could be for less since used silver flatware settings can be sell for way less or way more depending on many factors--age, pattern, condition, knowledge of the seller. Again, I sort of doubt they keep their silver in bad condition and are unaware of its value. I also am pretty sure they have nice patterns. . .

To my mind, none of this is going to go to an auction house. I think the Palace is naive to think that would happen. It's going to be melted down sold that way.

Again, this was just a thought experiment for fun. I have no idea.

Juliane Snekkestad at her Instagram after being away from social media for seven months:
As a young girl she struggled with severe social anxiety and that during the period of intense media pressure and everything else, the anxiety came back, worse than ever. She adds that what has kept her going is studying and reading. The best form of therapy during this period was being alone in nature where she could reconnect with herself. And that being with animals, her family, and her partner has helped her. It has been a tough period and getting through it has meant that Juliane has made some choices:
- I'm almost a month away from turning 30 and I've decided not to carry this with me anymore. From now on, I will always choose peace over fear, love over hate. Forgiveness over bitterness. Maybe not because others deserve it, but because I do.

The question has been asked here several times before, but I'll ask it again. How long will it take the judiciary to collect data and finally schedule a court hearing? I'm starting to find this very unusual. If the Norwegian newspapers hadn't stayed on the ball, would the case perhaps have ended up in some official drawer?
I suspect that he is getting special treatment because he is connected to the Norwegian royal family through his mother.

Do we even know what all the charges are yet? We've heard about a lot of investigations and allegations, but I don't remember at this point if he has been charged with anything beyond the original incident last summer.
 
Judging from the recent super high profile Ingebrigtsen case(involving some of our best athletes) I dont think it is taking unusual long time. In the Ingebritsen case the accusation of family violence came in october 2023 and it went to court in march 2025. Many has criticised that the police in that district used almost all of their resources in domestic violence on this case and that a case that otherwise would only get a few days on court got 7 weeks and came much sooner than other cases because they were so famous. IMO the case for Marius will go to court, with lots of influencers as victims and lots of press and high profile lawyers it will probably by a mess for many weeks.

The police is not done investigating new things has come jo many times, but if they decide to charge him then there are guidline for the time (article from 2017):

Hvor lang tid går det mellom etterforskning og rettssak?

Mange lurer på hvor lang tid politiet kan bruke på en sak. Det er vanskelig å angi eksakt hvor lang tid det tar før en etterforsket sak kommer opp i retten. Alle saker er forskjellig og praksis viser…
www.overgrep.no www.overgrep.no
If an indictment is issued, the public prosecutor shall send the case to the court for scheduling within 30 days. After receiving the case, the court will try to find a suitable time for the main hearing as soon as possible. The goal is to schedule the case within 90 days. If the deadlines are met, it will therefore take around 120 days from the time the investigated case is received by the public prosecutor until the trial begins.

The estimated time of approximately 120 days is, however, only a starting point. Practice shows that there are large variations in the time that elapses between investigation and main hearing. Below are some factors that have an impact on the time spent:

Time-limited cases: If the accused is under 18 years of age at the time of the crime or is in custody, the cases should, according to the law, preferably be brought within 6 weeks. […]

The caseload in the court: Which court will hear the case can affect when the court sets the time for the main hearing. In the smaller district courts, it will usually be easier to get cases up quickly than in the larger courts, for example Oslo District Court, which is often the case loaded (which is probably where Marius case will be)

The scope of the case: Large and extensive cases often have many participants. This will both mean that the public prosecutor can take longer before any indictment is issued and that it may be more difficult to find a time for the main hearing that suits all parties.[…]

The participants: If the case has several defense attorneys and a need for experts, it will often take longer before the main hearing takes place because the time must suit all the participants. In addition, high-profile defense attorneys, defense attorneys or experts often have a lot to do, which can cause further delays.( absolutly relevant in this case with lots of high profile and busy lawyers)

The caseload for prosecutors at the State Attorney's Office: Cases with a penalty of more than 6 years in prison must have a prosecutor from the State Attorney's Office. […]
 
Se og Hør tells that Marius' ex-girlfriend was asked to a new interview with investigators in the case just a few weeks ago, at the beginning of May. The "Frogner woman" is said to have been presented with intimate evidence that she did not know existed, just like Linni Meister.
When the police one day make their recommendation, it will be thoroughly assessed by the state attorney general, who will make the final decision on what the prosecution believes it can present evidence of in the district court.
This process takes time. Considering all the players in a potential lawsuit, it is unlikely that a trial will be scheduled until late this fall at the earliest, and perhaps closer to Christmas. But most likely, the date will pass 2025 and into next year before the court will be set and the case will be brought to the Oslo District Court.
