Iceland’s minister for children has resigned after admitting she had a child with a teenager more than 30 years ago.
Ásthildur Lóa Thórsdóttir said in a media interview she had first started a relationship when the boy was 15 years old, and she was a 22-year-old counsellor at a religious group which he attended.
She then gave birth to his child when he was 16 years old and she was 23.
“It’s been 36 years, a lot of things change in that time and I would definitely have dealt with these issues differently today,” the 58-year-old told Icelandic media.
