SHE KNEW EVERYTHING, YET CHOSE THIS… — Tom Silvagni’s Girlfriend’s Shocking Move After His Conviction Leaves Victim and Nation Stunned
In the wake of one of Melbourne’s most high-profile rape cases, Alannah Iaconis, the long-time girlfriend of convicted rapist Tom Silvagni, has sparked intense public debate and outrage after being spotted visiting the Silvagni family just days following his sentencing.
Tom Silvagni, 23, the youngest son of AFL legend Stephen Silvagni and TV personality Jo Silvagni, was sentenced on December 17, 2025, to six years and two months in prison (with a non-parole period of three years and three months) for two counts of digital rape. The crimes occurred in January 2024 at the family’s former luxury home in Balwyn North, where Silvagni deceived and assaulted a young woman — a friend of Iaconis — by pretending to be her partner in the dark.
Despite the gravity of the conviction, Iaconis — a 23-year-old model and Miss World Australia Victoria 2025 winner — stood by her boyfriend throughout the trial, even testifying in his defense. Now, photos captured on Saturday, December 20, 2025 (just days after sentencing), show her arriving at the family’s current rental mansion in Balwyn North, Melbourne’s east. Dressed casually in black pants and a white shirt, she exited a black vehicle around 10am and spent much of the day inside with Stephen, Jo, and other family members, reportedly avoiding media cameras outside.
Tom’s older brother, former AFL player Jack Silvagni, later arrived and told reporters that Iaconis would not be coming out to speak. The visit has fueled speculation: Was it a display of unwavering loyalty to the family she has known for years? A private show of support amid their plans to appeal the conviction? Or a defiant stance that has deepened the pain for the victim?

New details emerge in Tom Silvagni rape case as victim issues …
The move has drawn sharp criticism online, with many questioning why Iaconis — who was present at the house on the night of the incident and later received a text from the victim about the assault — continues to support Silvagni. Social media users have labeled it “disgusting” and accused her of prioritizing loyalty over justice, while others note she has remained publicly silent about the case, with no photos of the relationship on her social media.
The victim’s powerful impact statement in court described the lifelong trauma inflicted, calling the attack “premeditated and calculated.” She expressed doubts about ever forming another romantic relationship.
The Silvagni family, now living in a lavish $2,200-a-week rental property nearby their sold former mansion, has vowed to appeal to “clear Tom’s name.” Iaconis’ continued presence appears to signal the family’s ranks remain closed.
This development has only intensified the nationwide conversation around privilege, accountability, and the aftermath of high-profile convictions in Australia’s sports community.
