Marius Borg Høiby, the 27-year-old son of the Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit, has been arrested on suspicion of rape, according to police.

In a statement, police said that Marius was arrested on Monday evening on suspicion of violating the criminal code "which concerns sexual intercourse with someone who is unconscious or for other reasons unable to resist the act."

"What police can say about the rape is that it concerns a sexual act without intercourse. The victim is said to have been unable to resist the act," the police said.

Marius was arrested after fresh information came to light during an ongoing investigation.

This is the third time Marius has been arrested. On 4 August, he was arrested for "psychologically and physically" attacking a woman in her 20s, who was later revealed to be his girlfriend. Marius spent 30 hours in police custody before being arrested a second time on 15 September for violating his restraining order.
