New South Wales, Australia - Lawyers for a New South Wales south coast religious figure have told a District Court jury he cannot be judged for writing a series of "morally wrong" letters to a 15-year-old girl he is accused of assaulting.
Prosecutors say the letters support the allegations of abuse.
The now 27-year-old woman says that in 1993 she was sexually and indecently assaulted by William Kamm, who she knew as Little Pebble.
Kamm's District Court trial in Sydney has been read letters the pair exchanged while she and her family were living at his religious community, outside of Nowra.
In closing submissions, Kamm's lawyer told the jury that while the defence does not challenge that the letters are sexually overt and written by an "odd little man", they only show what he wanted to happen with the girl, not anything that actually occurred.
The trial will continue tomorrow.
