(Photo: AFP)OSLO — The son of Norway's crown princess goes on trial Tuesday accused of raping four women and assaulting several ex-girlfriends in a scandal that has tarnished the royal family's image. Marius Borg Hoiby, Crown Princess Mette-Marit's 29-year-old son from a relationship prior to her marriage to Crown Prince Haakon, is facing 38 charges, some dating back to 2018. Crown Prince Haakon and Mette-Marit will not attend the trial, nor will the king and queen. The verdict against Marius Borg Hoiby is expected several weeks after the end of the trial.
