In February 2019, following the 2018 trial and conviction of Cardinal George Pell for child abuse, Craven provided one of 10 positive character references for the purposes of the sentencing hearing.[9][10] Pell was eventually acquitted and all the convictions quashed by the High Court of Australia on 7 April 2020.[11]
