The son of Norway’s crown princess choked back tears while giving evidence at a rape trial in Oslo today. The 15-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, testified via video link about the alleged assault that took place in July last year. The defendant, a 17-year-old boy who is also protected by anonymity rules, is accused of raping the prince during a gathering at a mutual friend’s house.
The young prince recounted the events of that evening, describing how he was pressured into a room by the defendant and assaulted. He struggled to maintain his composure as he detailed the harrowing experience, prompting a brief recess in the proceedings. The defendant has denied the charges, claiming that the encounter was consensual.
The case has garnered significant media attention in Norway, with many royal observers closely following the trial. The outcome of this high-profile case is expected to have far-reaching implications, not only for the individuals involved but also for the broader conversation around consent and sexual assault among teenagers in the country.
Both the prosecution and the defense have emphasized the need for a fair trial and have expressed confidence in the legal system to deliver justice. The court is set to hear from additional witnesses before reaching a verdict in the coming weeks.
