NSW cult leader’s wife made overseas calls to recruit member in alleged child-grooming case, court told

Sandra Mathison was on Monday charged with grooming a child under 14 years for unlawful sexual activity and grooming a child for unlawful sexual activity. Despite what a court heard were “chilling” allegations, Mathison was granted bail on Thursday, when magistrate Daniel Covington imposed extra conditions to mitigate the risks of her release.“I’m not persuaded the case is weak at this stage,” Covington said.The 73-year-old calls himself “Little Pebble” and claims to communicate with Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary through visions.

“This is a cult … which centres around Mr Kamm having sexual access to women and children,” Breckenridge said.“They would go to extraordinary lengths that most people in society … would never dream of,” he said.
