Høiby appeals to the Supreme Court to avoid detention

Norway's so-called "bonus prince," Marius Borg Høiby, continues his attempts to escape detention. He has now appealed to the country's highest court.

Høiby instead wants to spend the remainder of the time until sentencing in shackles at the Crown Prince couple's residence, Skaugum.

Both the district court and the court of appeal have rejected his request.

29-year-old Høiby, the son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit from a previous relationship, has been in custody since early February.

He is charged with 40 crimes, including several counts of rape. The trial was held in March, and a verdict is expected on June 15.
