Scandal Tom Silvagni convicted of rape

[Gavin Excell]

He'll get a slap on the wrist - 3 month sentence and a community order because of his clean record. Absolute joke

Nah doubt it
Will be more than that esp lack of remorse

Sure, if I believed that they had no idea and truly believed him I would be sympathetic. I follow alot of cases and am often sympathetic to the offender's family.

In this case I just don't believe that they haven't acted to protect their own interests. It's my opinion.

For all you know they may have tried to convince him to plead guilty. I don't see the point of trying to read their minds and blame/not blame them, it makes no difference anyway. Ultimately you have no clue what they were thinking or did.

Neither does anyone else.

If they came and called out the abuse of women, made an apology, gave money to a rape crisis centre for example that would do wonders for the name they're trying to protect.

That's my opinion.

Will he appeal?

Depending on the sentence, but I’d be shocked if he didn’t.

Unfortunately his lawyers have botched his defence offering nothing of an explanation.

Hard to show remorse when you appeal

 

[ferball]

Oh yeah? I have absolutely no clue but assumed he'd go away for at least 10 years.

It'll probably be closer to half that.

The idea is to show remorse prior to sentencing.

That does not appear to have happened.

The overwhelming majority of sex in prison is consensual. Very little rape, at least in SA prisons. And when there is, it’s most often reported and prosecuted. But the number of condoms that are used in prisons would astound you.

I am sure any sausage Tom gets will be consensual.

They're up and about

If it wasn't for those damn feminists none of this would have happened in the first place. Poor Tom and his family have had their names dragged thru the mud because of this sort of thing. Feminists are tearing society and families apart!

When will it end?

 

[EskimoPAFC]

I'm not going in to bat for him, but it appears Tom is somewhat unlucky to have been convicted. It's not a common outcome in Australia. Any men's advocates here able to explain what happened?

The fact that he indisputably tried to doctor an uber receipt is pretty compelling evidence.

 

[ferball]

I hope Tom gets everything he deserves. If he thinks it is fine to digitally rape a women then I hope he is looking forward to the same treatment from hus cell mate for the next couple of years .....

The answer to someone raping someone else isn't more of the same.

What time is his pre-sentencing hearing today?

Would he be sentenced today?

They're doing great work highlighting the imbalances in Victoria's disgraceful legal system

No he'll be sentenced at the sentencing hearing

 

[ferball]

As a parent, I often wonder how I would react in situations like this.

To be honest, I have enormous empathy for the Silvagni family. It must be absolutely awful for them. I can only assume they would devastated that their son did something like that, but at the same time devastated that their son is going to go to jail for the prime decade of his life.

I can't even comprehend what they'd be going through.

Speaking as a parent I'd probably end up with a longer sentence for a more serious crime... oh wait you're talking about the perp's family.

I really hope you're serious with this comment.

Hopefully they don't have much to consider & it happens asap.

 

[The Nostradamus]

absolute scumbag human

deserves 25 years

 

[Corn Cobbers]

I really hope you're serious with this comment.

Errr YES

What sort of person would think any of this is OK? Spending millions to gaslight a victim, long suppression orders to protect the career of the accused's mother, fabricating evidence, getting others to lie etc etc

Two years of this

Rich, spoilt, entitled filth

Hope he gets ten years, deserves it, in fact he deserves double that

Ok. I apologise.

I'm genuinely sorry I thought you were serious the first time.

The trouble is people genuinely think stuff like that, even now in 2025.

Exactly. It’s hard to be found innocent when you’ve botched an uber receipt. So it makes just about zero sense about how they’ve gone about this.

 

[10571z]

Has his lawyer offered an explanation why an innocent man would produce a fake uber receipt to make an excuse for something that never apparently took place?

 

[Munich]

They will appeal the sentence stating mental health, like they've already done to get/uphold the suppression.

"He was on bail for 2 years and was an exemplary member of the community" blahdy blah.

 

[Toump Ass]

Yes. Because Young Tom was being accused of rape and freaked out.

was he ever on Carltons list?
