A Sydney court was today told a man who drugged and sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl, did so because he believed he was Ozzy Obourne.

Arthur Fairwell, 39, is facing a sentencing hearing in the NSW District Court, where he has pleaded guilty to six charges over the assault of the girl and the drugging of her and her mother.

Fairwell met the girl's mother through a telephone dating service in May 2004.

The court has previously been told that he drugged the woman and her daughter with a sedative at their south-western Sydney home before sexually assaulting the teenage girl.

Making submissions on sentence today, defence barrister Greg Scragg told the court Fairwell had discussed his mental state at the time of the offences with a forensic psychiatrist.

"My client had come to form the belief he was Ozzy Osbourne, the lead singer in the heavy metal rock group known as Black Sabbath," Mr Scragg said.

"He became obsessed with the idea that he had to do what Ozzy Osbourne had done."

Mr Scragg said Fairwell had learned of a claim that Osbourne had had sex with a 13-year-old girl. The lawyer said that, because of his client's obsessive beliefs, Fairwell felt compelled to follow in the singer's footsteps.

Today's hearing was frequently interrupted by vocal outbursts from Mr Fairwell who shouted from the dock in an American accent.

......There are so many things wrong with this. I mean, for fuck's sake dude! Couldn't you have just developed a drug habit, had a couple of ugly kids and started letting dogs shit all through your house?

While we're on it, Ozzy Osbourne certainly doesn't have an American accent you daft cunt. And you call yourself a fan?
