The stepson of Crown Prince Haakon is accused of 38 offenses, including four counts of rape, domestic violence, assault and drug possession between 2018 and late 2024.

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.

He pleaded guilty to one count of offensive sexual behaviour, driving too fast and driving without a valid license, among other charges.
