Identity of Rapist Son of High Profile Man Revealed
Tom Silvagni was convicted of raping a woman twice and tampering with evidence at his family home, with sentencing pending after the suppression order was lifted.
- On December 5, Tom Silvagni, defendant, was convicted of two counts of rape and remanded into custody by the Victorian County Court.
- On January 13, 2024 the victim attended the Silvagni family home in Melbourne and was raped in the early hours of January 14, 2024 after her boyfriend left.
- Silvagni later admitted forging an Uber receipt and told the victim in a taped phone call it would be better to `move on with her life`, while denying entering the bedroom and saying he doctored the receipt to `alleviate a bit of the stress`.
- The court scheduled a pre-sentence hearing for Friday, noting Silvagni, who is in custody, will be sentenced later for rape, which carries up to 25 years and averages seven to 10 years.
- On Thursday, Victorian County Court judge Andrew Palmer lifted the suppression order after Silvagni's lawyers sought continued suppression citing his mental ill health and the case's history of appeals.
