After acknowledging that she had a child with a teenager over 30 years ago, Iceland’s minister for children resigned.
In a media interview, Ásthildur Lóa Thórsdóttir stated that she had begun seeing the child when he was 15 years old and that she was a 22-year-old counselor at a religious group that he frequented.
Then, when she was 23 and he was 16, she gave birth to his child.
The 58-year-old told Icelandic media, “It’s been 36 years, a lot of things change in that time, and I would definitely have dealt with these issues differently today.”
