In the wake of Tom Silvagni's high-profile sentencing on December 17, 2025, new developments have emerged surrounding the 23-year-old's personal life. Just days after he was jailed for six years and two months for the digital rape of a woman in January 2024, his long-time girlfriend, model Alannah Iaconis, was spotted visiting the Silvagni family home — a move interpreted by many as a clear indication that she continues to stand by him despite the conviction.
Meanwhile, Tom's older brother, St Kilda AFL player Jack Silvagni, has spoken publicly for the first time since the sentencing, acknowledging the family's hardship while declining to comment directly on Iaconis's support.
The sighting and comments, occurring over the Christmas period, have reignited discussions about loyalty, family unity, and the ongoing fallout from one of Australia's most scrutinized criminal cases involving a prominent sporting dynasty.
The Background: A Shocking Crime and Conviction
Tom Silvagni, the youngest son of AFL legend Stephen Silvagni and television personality Jo Silvagni, was found guilty on December 5, 2025, of two counts of rape following a two-week trial in the Victorian County Court.
The offense took place in the early hours of January 14, 2024, at the family's luxury home in Balwyn North, Melbourne. After a day of drinking involving Tom, his then-girlfriend Alannah Iaconis, his friend Anthony LoGiudice, and LoGiudice's casual partner (the victim), the group retired for the night.
LoGiudice left in an Uber shortly after 2am following consensual sex with the victim. Tom then entered the darkened bedroom, impersonated LoGiudice, and digitally raped the woman twice — once initially, and again after she resisted, pinning her down despite her protests.
In a further act of deception, Silvagni doctored an Uber receipt to suggest LoGiudice had remained at the house, aiming to cast doubt on the victim's account.
Judge Gregory Lyon described the actions as “callous,” “egregious,” and lacking remorse during sentencing, handing down a total term of six years and two months, with a non-parole period of three years and three months.
The case drew intense media attention due to the Silvagni family's AFL legacy: Tom's father Stephen is a Carlton Hall of Famer, his grandfather Sergio a premiership player, and brother Jack a current player who recently moved to St Kilda.
A lengthy suppression order kept Tom's identity hidden until December 11, 2025, but the family has maintained his innocence and signaled intentions to appeal.
The ‘Telling Sign': Alannah Iaconis Visits the Family
On December 21, 2025 — just four days after sentencing — Alannah Iaconis, a 23-year-old model and Miss World Australia Victoria 2025 representative, arrived at the Silvagni family's temporary rental home in Balwyn North around 10am.
Dressed casually in black pants and a white shirt, she spent much of the day inside with Stephen and Jo Silvagni, avoiding waiting media.
This public appearance marks the first time Iaconis has been seen since the sentencing, and observers quickly noted its significance: by choosing to visit and support the family amid intense scrutiny, she appeared to signal that their relationship remains intact.
Iaconis had stood by Tom throughout the trial, even giving evidence in his defense and facing cross-examination about potentially “tailored” testimony. She has maintained silence on social media regarding the case, with no photos or mentions of Tom visible on her profiles.
However, her actions post-sentencing — visiting the family home during a private holiday period — have been widely interpreted as unwavering loyalty. As one report noted, it was a “telling sign” that she continues to back her boyfriend despite his incarceration and the family's public stance on innocence.
Critics online have questioned her decision, with some accusing her of enabling denial, while others see it as personal choice in a complex situation.
Jack Silvagni Breaks His Silence
Later that same day, Jack Silvagni arrived at the family home and briefly addressed reporters camped outside.
When asked about Iaconis's presence and whether it indicated ongoing support for Tom, Jack replied that it “wasn't for him to comment on.” He informed media that Iaconis “knows you're here… and she’s not going to say anything to you guys.”
Jack, however, acknowledged the toll on the family: “We're doing it hard,” he said, reflecting the emotional strain following the conviction and sentencing.
As a rising AFL star recently recruited by St Kilda (where his father Stephen works as recruiting manager), Jack has largely stayed out of the spotlight during the trial. His brief comments mark the first time a family member has spoken since the jail term was imposed, underscoring unity amid adversity.
The Silvagnis have relocated to a rental property after selling their former Balwyn North mansion — the site of the crime — earlier in 2025.
Broader Implications and Public Reaction
The developments highlight the enduring impact of the case on the Silvagni family. While Tom begins his sentence maintaining innocence, the family's appeal plans and continued support network — including Iaconis's involvement — suggest a long road ahead.
Public opinion remains divided: some praise family loyalty, others criticize perceived denial in light of the jury's verdict and judge's remarks on lack of remorse.
The victim, who delivered a powerful impact statement describing lifelong trauma, has received widespread support, with many viewing Iaconis's actions as insensitive.
As 2025 draws to a close, this latest chapter reinforces how the case continues to ripple through Melbourne's elite circles, blending themes of privilege, justice, and personal relationships.
With an appeal looming and Tom ineligible for parole until at least 2029, the story of the Silvagni family — once synonymous with AFL glory — now carries a far heavier shadow.
