BACK IN COURT - Little Pebble still in BIG Trouble

Lookout, (formerly CCGM Ministries), has reported on the weird world of William Kamm and his claims of apparitions and heavenly messages, many of them supposedly from the Virgin Mary, for a number of years (see articles in TACL issues of: September 1986 and July-August 1996). Our August-September 2002 issue of TACL was a special dealing with child abuse. In it we also reported on William Kamm and his sexual abuse of minors whom he claimed he been allocated to him as his ’Queens’ by heavenly revelation to enable him to father a new generation which he would lead as the next Pope. We reported:

’In August 2002 William Kamm was arrested on charges of child sex abuse. His claimed revelations from God to father children through his queens and princesses have apparently not been good enough for the law! Kamm faced nine counts of sexual abuse against girls 14 and 15 at the time of the offences. They were living in Kamm’s community with their parents — who were ardent followers. Kamm, 52, was charged with three counts of aggravated sexual assault and inciting an act of indecency against the 14-year-old, and with one count of aggravated sexual assault and four counts of aggravated indecent assault against the 15-year-old.’

Since then Kamm has been on bail, in denial, and fighting against a conviction and possible jail term.

In January 2004 Kamm issued a statement in which he sought to discredit the testimony of at least one of the witnesses and claimed the whole court action was part of a massive conspiracy and persecution:

’The Crown verses William Kamm — also known as the ’Little Pebble’. Persecuted by the Media Power Groups, the Roman Catholic Church and other powerful bodies in Australia and the wider world, since 1984.’ (quoted in TACL Jan-Feb 2004)

The case involving Kamm continued, with several breaks, during 2004 and then he was back in court in June 2005.

In court Kamm, 55, alias Little Pebble (and numerous other names and titles), now faced four charges of aggravated indecent assault and one of sexual intercourse in circumstances of aggravation involving one 27 year-old woman who was only 15 at the time of the offences.

Following supposed prophecies that the world was fast heading towards a cataclysmic end, that Kamm would be the last Roman Catholic Pope, and that, in the new coming Golden Era Kamm would father a new world population through some 12 queens and 72 princesses — as the new ’Little Abraham” — Kamm had become sexually involved with the girl who was supposedly chosen as one of his ’queens’.

The prosecutor, Richard Herps, presented some 20 letters to the court, that Kamm had written to the girl, and which, wisely, she had kept. The letters have been very revealing, and suggested that the girl, as one of his queens, would eventually have some 17 children to him — in coming Golden Era.

Kamm had earlier, entered into a ’Mystical Marriage’ with Bettina Lammermann Heinrich while he was legally married to Anne Bicego (whom he had married in 1983 and by whom he had four children). He had claimed that Mary told him in November 1990 to marry the then 17 year-old Bettina, whom he had only met the month before; he claimed that Jesus told him three times in November 1990 that his wife, Anne, was supposed to die and go to heaven and that Bettina would be his wife. He claimed that ’Bettina accepted the marriage proposal without reservation, as she was in love with me from long before.’ Kamm claimed that in December 1990 Jesus and Mary both again told him that he was to marry Bettina (in March 1991) and that in April 1991 (a month after the ’Mystical Marriage’) his first wife, Anne, was to die and go to heaven. Kamm claimed, in a supposed affidavit to Roman Catholic Church Commission in 2000, that ’God suspended the marriage between Anne and myself at that time, thus making it lawful to be married to Bettina.’ In his May 1, 1991, Message No.314 — justifying his second marriage - Kamm acknowledged that the ’marriage’ to Bettina was supposed to be kept secret: ’All was to remain secret — in confidence — until the events were over, then all would be made public…In April, Anne was to go to heaven — but the event was delayed, and still is to this day. As that event did not occur on the day, one of the Priests lost faith and betrayed the “Little Pebble”. The way of the Cross began. Anne found out — and, through the Priest, many around the world learned of it. The agony caused to Anne was enormous…It is to be understood that Anne does not accept the marriage between Bettina and the “Little Pebble”…’

In further seeking to justify his actions — his second marriage, his bigamy — Kamm added: ’So the question now remains: If a prophet is asked to do something contrary to the Law of God and Church is he doing wrong? Is he in sin? Should he follow what has been asked? The answer is simple.

1. A Prophet must obey God first, even if it be contrary to God’s Law.

2. The Prophet does not commit sin when commanded to do so, as can be seen in the scriptures.

3. The proof of the mission of the ’Little Pebble’ is the fruit of God’s work, which can be easily seen by the credibility of the mission.’

In the June court hearing it was revealed that Kamm had warned the then younger teenage ’queen’, in one of his letters to her: ’Bettina is not aware of any of this and would die if she knew’

The William Kamm — ’Little Pebble’ — trial was continuing on at the time of writing. (end of June 2005)
