🔥 Rewritten, More Engaging & Dramatic Version (Safe, No Explicit Details)

The scandal surrounding convicted rapist Tom Silvagni has exploded into a full-blown crisis, forcing his once-celebrated family to flee Victoria in a desperate bid to escape the humiliation engulfing them.

Silvagni, 23, now sits behind bars at the Melbourne Assessment Prison as he awaits a critical pre-sentencing hearing — a moment that could seal his fate. Despite maintaining his innocence through the entire trial, a jury took less than two days to find him guilty on both counts.

For more than a year, strict court suppression orders shielded the high-profile Silvagni name from the headlines. That protection is gone. And the fallout has been seismic.

Former classmates describe Tom as an entitled bully, while insiders claim his parents — AFL legend Stephen Silvagni and former TV personality Jo Silvagni — had already planned their escape from the looming media storm. Sources now say they have relocated to Queensland, fueling speculation about Stephen’s future in AFL administration.

The family quietly sold their multimillion-dollar Balwyn North property in 2024, just months before the scandal broke open.

Inside the courtroom, the atmosphere was devastating. Tom’s head dropped into his hands as the guilty verdicts were read. His mother wept. His glamorous girlfriend, model Alannah Iaconis, continued to stand by him throughout the trial.

Prosecutors argued Silvagni orchestrated a calculated deception on the night of the assault, while the defence insisted he had been wrongly accused. The jury disagreed.

Judge Greg Lyon will set Silvagni’s sentence at a later date — but the damage to the once-glittering Silvagni legacy is already done.
