Norwegian princess's son sentenced to four years in prison for rape

Three judges acquitted him of two other counts of rape, but convicted him of many other criminal acts he was charged with.

Hoiby was not in court for the verdict, but joined the session through a video connection.

Prosecutors had demanded that he be sentenced to seven years and seven months in prison.

But his defence lawyers had sought a shorter 18-month sentence and could appeal against the verdict. /Telegraphy/
