Cult Leader Convicted of Abuse Gets Released on Bail Despite New Child Grooming Case

William Kamm, who led a cult and served prison time for sexually assaulting teenage members, was freed on bail in late 2025 while facing trial on fresh charges. He and partner Sandra Mathison allegedly groomed a child starting at age six, using religion to convince her she had a special purpose. The decision to release him raises urgent questions about how courts assess danger to children.
