In a police interrogation, Marius Borg Høiby’s ex-girlfriend described his frequent attempts to contact her as “terrorization.” Reports indicate that she experienced multiple phone calls and messages from Høiby each day, including during late hours, following his arrest in August this year.

The police confirmed that, in early September, they received information about Høiby making unwanted contact with the woman. Høiby’s lawyer, Øyvind Bratlien, refrained from commenting on the case, stating that he would not discuss details until his client had completed his interrogation, which is expected to take place over the next two weeks.

Høiby was initially arrested on August 4 at a school in Asker, suspected of assaulting a woman in her apartment in Oslo and causing property damage. He later admitted to committing these offenses under the influence of alcohol and cocaine, expressing a willingness to take responsibility.

Reports emerged that Høiby’s ex-girlfriends, Juliane Snekkestad and Nora Haukland, alleged they had experienced violence from him, leading to their testimonies during police investigations. Høiby faces multiple charges for offenses including assault, threats, and breaching a restraining order imposed against him.

On September 14, Høiby was arrested again at a cabin in Innlandet for allegedly violating the restraining order by contacting the ex-girlfriend from a hidden number, which police claim occurred late at night. He denies breaking the order, and an investigation continues with a high priority.

Accusations against Høiby involve a range of violent incidents spanning several years, affecting multiple victims.
