A woman born into one of the world’s most evil cults of paedophilia and brainwashing says she was married off as a young girl.

Serena Kelley, 40, was just three years old when she was given as a child bride to notorious 67-year-old sicko David Berg, the leader of apocalyptic sex cult Children of God (COG).

Bases for the cult were formed around the world including the Philippines, Japan and in 1969 around 200 COG members established a 425-acre colony near the ghost town of Thurber in Texas, US.

Serena's parents joined the grim group in the early 1970s after it was founded as a Christian family promoting love and peace.

But with Berg at its helm, the group soon turned sinister and cult members were often sexually abused, told to complete military-like drills, or forced to beg for cash.

Serena told The Mirror she was given as a wife to David Berg – aka Father David – by her mother, Sara, who was a leading member of the organisation, and now she's opened up about her harrowing marriage ceremony.

Serena from Austin, Texas, said: "I think the most famous story from my very early childhood with Berg was when I was given to him as a child bride by my mother, so she brought me to him after I turned three – just after my third birthday.

"She put me on his lap and he kissed me and he gave a whole speech about how I'm going to be his forever and we're having a union. Things that don't make sense to a three-year-old.

"Then he gave me a ring and the ring was quite big, but what he had done was wrapped tape around the band to make it thick enough to fit on my finger and he told me to always wear the ring and take tape off as I got older so the ring would always fit me.

"It's pretty sick he thought that far ahead into the future.

"He had already been married to multiple other teenage girls, I happened to be the youngest at three. There were other girls aged 12 to 15 who had been given the ring, it's a heart with two hands holding it."

Berg managed to convince his thousands of followers that the end of the world was coming and the only way they could gain salvation was through sex and orgasms.

Women had to make themselves freely available to any man who wanted to have sex with them.

And then Berg issued one of his doctrines – The Law Of Love.

It stated that anyone within the cult could have sex with anyone else, including children.

She alleged: "In Berg's house I was subjected to a lot of sexual abuse, both for myself and what I witnessed. There were orgies in Berg's house all the time, many times I'd be left alone to wander the house by myself because there'd be drunken orgies in the living room."
