Arrest
On 1 July 2015, Levin was arrested for trespass during an interview, after failing to "move on" from Hillsong Conference in Sydney Olympic Park at the direction of police.[9] The arrest came amid increased media scrutiny of the conference, after organisers misled the media about the involvement of Mark Driscoll.[10] According to Levin, she was convicted but on appeal "the findings were upheld, but the convictions were dismissed."[11]
