The page contains 23 accounts and the women wish to make them public in light of the me-too movement when victims of sexual abuse can finally step forward. 

Charges were made against Hannibalsson in 2012 for harassing his wife's young, with evidence that included letters with explicit content. The charges were dropped. 

His eldest daughter Aldís Schram has come forward recently accusing her father of having her incarcarated at a mental hospital when she threatened to talk about his abuse.
