Marius Borg Høiby Faces Expanded Charges in Abuse and Misconduct Case

Marius Borg Høiby Arrested Amidst Expanding Investigation

The Oslo police district announced on Saturday morning that they received information earlier this month regarding Marius Borg Høiby's unwanted contact with a victim involved in an incident on August 4 in Frogner. This led to a police report being filed for reckless behavior and a restraining order imposed against Høiby.

New Allegations and Arrest

Recently, law enforcement learned that Høiby allegedly violated the restraining order. Consequently, he was arrested late Friday night due to a perceived risk of repeating the offenses. According to lawyer Andreas Kruszewski, the charges against Høiby have intensified, now involving four victims.

• The charges have broadened to include reckless behavior and violations of the restraining order.
• Previous allegations of physical assault have also surfaced involving two of Høiby's former partners.
• He faces accusations of threats directed at another individual as well.

Høiby’s lawyer, Øyvind Bratlien, criticized the police's decision, asserting that the basis for the arrest was insufficient. He stated that Høiby contacted the victim one time from a hidden number, which he denies. The potential for repeat offenses in cases of domestic violence often necessitates swift action from police.

Ongoing Investigation and Victim Accounts

With Høiby now facing additional scrutiny, he must clarify his actions both during the incident and the weeks following it. Reports want to highlight that he previously admitted to committing physical assault and property damage concerning his ex-girlfriend, revealing his mental health and addiction struggles. Former partners have stepped forward, recounting their experiences of apparent psychological and physical abuse.

As the investigation unfolds, police emphasize the seriousness of breaching a restraining order, which can lead to significant legal repercussions. The community watches closely as the situation develops, with implications for Høiby and the victims at hand.
