Son of Norway's crown princess charged with rape and assault

NTB/Jonas Fæste Laksekjon via REUTERS OSLO - The son of Norway's crown princess has been charged with rape, domestic violence, assault and other crimes following a year-long police investigation, a prosecutor said on Monday. Marius Borg Hoiby, 28, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit and stepson to Crown Prince Haakon, is expected to stand trial early next year and could face up to 10 years in prison if found guilty of the most serious charges, the prosecutor said. Hoiby has denied the most serious accusations against him, including those of rape and domestic violence, his lawyer Ellen Holager Andenaes has said. Andenaes did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday. He has yet to appear before court to enter formal pleas on the charges. Hoiby does not have a royal title and is outside the line of royal succession. "It is up to the courts to hear this case and to reach a decision," the royal palace said in a statement. Police in November 2024 held Hoiby in detention for one week as part of the investigation. He was charged on Monday with 32 criminal offences, including one count of rape with sexual intercourse and three counts of rape without intercourse, some of which he filmed on his telephone, the prosecution said. "It's up to the judges to decide if he is guilty," Prosecutor Sturla Henriksboe told a press conference. Police in August last year named Hoiby as a suspect of physical assault against a woman with whom he had been in a relationship. Hoiby, in a statement to the media at the time, admitted to causing bodily harm to the woman while he was under the influence of cocaine and alcohol and of damaging her apartment. Hoiby said he regretted his acts. REUTERS

Man suspected of racially abusing Bournemouth's Semenyo banned from stadiums
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox A 47-year-old man from Liverpool who was arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Bournemouth player Antoine Semenyo has been conditionally bailed and banned from attending soccer matches, Merseyside Police said on Monday. Friday's Premier League match between Liverpool and Bournemouth at Anfield was halted during the first half after Semenyo told the referee he was targeted by a man in the crowd. The Ghana forward netted twice in the second period, but Liverpool won the match 4-2. Police said a man had been ejected from Anfield over the incident and announced they had made an arrest the following day. "He has now been bailed with conditions, which includes not to attend any regulated football match in the UK and not to go within one mile of a designated football stadium," Merseyside Police said in a statement, adding that the investigation was still ongoing. FIFA president Gianni Infantino condemned the racist abuse directed at Semenyo, saying that the Players' Voice Panel will aid the 25-year-old. On Saturday, Semenyo thanked his teammates, Liverpool, match officials and the "entire football family" for their support. REUTERS

Tanzania court bans live coverage of opposition leader's treason trial

REUTERS/Emmanuel Herman/File Photo DAR ES SALAAM - A court in Tanzania on Monday banned the live coverage of treason proceedings against the East African nation's main opposition leader, Tundu Lissu, who criticised the decision. Principal Resident Magistrate Franco Kiswaga said the ban would help protect civilian prosecution witnesses, acceding to a request by the state prosecutor who said it was necessary to conceal their identities. "Live streaming, live broadcast, and any other kind of live distribution of content online to the public including on social media or video broadcast ... are hereby prohibited," Kiswaga ruled during preliminary proceedings on Monday at the Kisutu Resident Magistrate's Court in Dar es Salaam. Lissu had already opposed the request saying that such an order would allow the court to operate in "darkness" and prevent his supporters from following the case. Officials from his CHADEMA party also criticised the court's order. "Justice must be done and be seen to be done," Lissu, who is representing himself after dismissing his attorneys, said last week. Lissu is the leader of Tanzania's biggest opposition party and has been in detention since early April after he was charged with treason and publication of false information. He has rejected the charges. Lissu, who was shot 16 times in a 2017 assassination attempt, was runner-up in the 2020 presidential election but his party has been disqualified from participating in October's presidential and parliamentary votes. His detention and unexplained abductions of government critics in recent months have shone a spotlight on the human rights record of President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who says her government is committed to respecting human rights. Hassan is running for the presidency for the first time after assuming office following the death of her predecessor John Magufuli in 2021. REUTERS
