Grooming Trial Ends in Acquittal | Sydney News

A judge acquitted William Kamm, the controversial “Little Pebble” leader of the Order of Saint Charbel, and his wife Sandra Susan Mathison of grooming charges involving a young girl — despite evidence spanning a decade. While the judge acknowledged Kamm’s clear sexual interest in the girl and noted inconsistencies in her testimony, she found no sufficient proof of unlawful sexual grooming. Crucially, Kamm was incarcerated during key years, making acts impossible. Though the accuser was deemed reliable, past convictions for sexual offenses against minors in 2005 and 2007 add gravity to the case — leaving behind unsettling beliefs and a legal outcome that underscores the complexities of proving intent in such sensitive matters.
