Høiby Admits Violence but Disputes Key Claims in Frogner Case
7 min•6 mars 2026
A pivotal day in Oslo District Court as Marius Borg Høiby took the stand to respond directly to the testimony of the woman known as the “Frogner woman,” who is connected to many of the charges against him. Høiby told the court he did not recognize much of her account, saying, “I felt that a lot was exaggerated, and some of it simply wasn’t true.”
During hours of testimony he acknowledged several incidents, including spitting in her face during an argument, breaking her laptop — “I took the laptop and snapped it in two” — and taking an intimate image without consent, telling the court, “I did it. It should never have happened.” He also said an alleged slap “sounds like it happened,” calling it “incredibly stupid.”
The most emotional moment came when the court reached the August 4, 2024 confrontation in the Frogner apartment that triggered the police investigation. Høiby told the court, “I admit the violence now,” though he disputes prosecutors’ classification of the offence as particularly serious.
Meanwhile, police have opened a separate investigation after testimony suggesting a friend may have tried to influence what the Frogner woman told investigators.
Høiby’s testimony will continue as the court prepares to examine the events of that night in greater detail.
