A trial has started in Sydney's Downing Centre District Court. William Kamm and Sandra Susan Mathison are accused of grooming a child over a period of ten years.

悉尼的唐寧中心地區法院已開始審理。William Kamm 與 Sandra Susan Mathison 被指控在十年期間誘姦一名兒童。

The prosecution's case focuses on the Order of Saint Charbel, a religious group in New South Wales. William Kamm, the leader of the group, allegedly claimed he was a prophet who needed to rebuild society after a global disaster. To achieve this, he reportedly planned to create a system with twelve 'queens' and twenty-four 'princesses.'

控方的案件焦點在於新南威爾斯州的一個宗教團體——聖查比爾修會。該團體的領袖 William Kamm 據稱自稱是一名先知，表示在全球災難後需要重建社會。據報導，為了達成此目標，他計劃建立一個由十二位「皇后」和二十四位「公主」組成的系統。

According to the prosecution, the victim was targeted starting at age six. While Kamm was in prison, he allegedly communicated with the child through phone calls arranged by Mathison. The prosecution emphasized that the child was pressured to accept a 'spiritual marriage' and told she had a divine duty to have 45 children. Evidence includes recorded calls and letters showing how the defendants used religious rules to keep the child silent. Furthermore, the court heard that Kamm broke supervision laws by contacting the minor after his release in 2014.

根據控方說法，受害者在六歲時便成為目標。當 Kamm 在獄中時，他據稱透過 Mathison 安排的電話與該兒童溝通。控方強調，該兒童被壓力迫使其接受「屬靈婚姻」，並被告知其有神聖責任要生 45 個孩子。證據包括錄音電話和信件，顯示被告如何利用宗教規則令該兒童保持沉默。此外，法庭獲悉 Kamm 在 2014 年獲釋後，因接觸未成年人而違反了監管法律。

In their defense, Mr. Kamm's lawyer argued that there was no physical contact between the defendant and the victim. Meanwhile, Ms. Mathison's defense claimed that the charges against her are simply based on the case against Kamm. The trial is now looking at the psychological damage caused to the victim, who testified that she felt severe anxiety about the sexual demands of the 'mission.'

在辯護過程中，Kamm 先生的律師辯稱被告與受害者之間沒有任何肢體接觸。同時，Mathison 女士的辯護方聲稱，對她的指控純粹是基於對 Kamm 的指控。審理目前正調查對受害者造成的心理傷害，受害者證稱她對該「使命」中的性要求感到嚴重焦慮。

Both defendants have pleaded not guilty to all charges, and the trial is continuing under Judge Nicole Noman.

兩名被告均對所有指控否認認罪，審理在法官 Nicole Noman 主持下繼續進行。
