The self-professed religious leader, who founded the Order of Saint Charbel near Nowra, officially finished his decade-long sentence on Tuesday for having sex with two teenage girls he claimed were there to help him re-populate the earth.
But the Supreme Court has ordered that he continue to be monitored by way of an interim supervision order, after hearing his “manipulative and deceitful manner as well as intense egocentrism’” meant he was at high risk of re-offending.
The NSW government made the application for the supervision order, seeking to have Kamm’s supervision extended by another five years.
Lawyers for the Crown told the court psychiatric and psychological reports showed that Kamm had a narcissistic personality disorder and was able to exert influence over vulnerable devotees.
Psychologist Dr Christopher Lennings, who assessed Kamm in February, surmised: “If he is able to avoid supervision of his behaviour, his manipulative and deceitful manner as well as intense egocentrism and narcissism will likely lead to further attempts at offending”.
As part of the ongoing supervision, Kamm must adhere to 37 conditions including that he wear electronic monitoring equipment, stay out of Nowra and have no contact with any person under the age of 16 without permission from his supervising officer.
Two psychiatrists will interview Kamm in the next month and prepare individual reports assessing his risk to the community.
