A cult leader and self-professed prophet will seek release after allegedly grooming a girl from the age of six.
William Kamm, 73, also known as "Little Pebble", was arrested on Monday alongside his 58-year-old partner, Sandra Mathison.
It followed a six-month police investigation into reports a woman had been groomed as a child by the duo.
The pair did not appear when the matter was briefly mentioned in Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday.
Lawyer Daniel Kradolfer told the court they will apply for bail on Thursday.
Kamm was charged with grooming a child under 14 years for unlawful sexual activity, grooming a child for unlawful sexual activity and an aggravated offence of inciting a person to do a sexual act.
He was also charged with two counts of failing to comply with a supervision order.
Mathison was also charged with grooming a child under 14 years for unlawful sexual activity and grooming a child for unlawful sexual activity.
Police raided the religious group's headquarters at Bangalee on the NSW South Coast on Thursday, along with a property in Sydney's city-centre, seizing a number of items for investigation.
The pair allegedly groomed a child for several years and she contacted police after becoming an adult, Detective Superintendent Jayne Doherty said on Monday.
"She was advised by the religious leader and his partner that she had been selected to procreate with that religious leader and to build a new sect," the detective said.
Kamm recently spent more than a year on remand before pleading guilty in November to breaching an extended supervision order.
In that case, he used his wife's Facebook account to send messages a magistrate described as "mundane".
He was originally placed under the order as a condition of being allowed to return to the South Coast property that serves as a commune for his cult followers.
The self-professed prophet calls himself "Little Pebble" and claims to communicate with Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary through visions.
