  Teen 'Petitioned Virgin Mary for Help'

CONFUSED and frightened, a 15-year-old girl petitioned the Virgin Mary for help in dealing with her "mystical marriage" to a man since charged with sexually assaulting her, a Sydney court has been told.

William Kamm, 55, is facing trial in the New South Wales District Court on four counts of aggravated indecent assault, and one of aggravated sexual intercourse.

The then teenager accuses Kamm, also known as Little Pebble, of assaulting her on a number of occasions in 1993 near Nowra on the NSW south coast.

The complainant today told the court how she wrote to Mary through a diary held by Kamm, and he would write down answers the Mother of God allegedly told him.

"I am so mixed up, confused and frightened," she wrote to Mary.

Kamm had previously told her Mary had chosen her to be one of his 12 "queens" or spiritual wives, and she agreed.

She said today she had other crushes on boys and the celebrity River Phoenix, but the diary answers urged her to put them aside as temptations from the Devil.

"I wasn't 100 per cent and I was asking for more devotion and more love for Kamm," she told the court today.

Diary entries written in Kamm's handwriting, supposedly from Mary, repeatedly said that her love would grow deeper for her "spouse" – especially when they became intimate.

"Be assured dear child that your love for your spouse will grow very deep," the reply said.

Kamm denies the charges and a jury trial continues.
