Who is Tom Silvagni’s Girlfriend Alannah Iaconis?

Alannah Iaconis came into public attention after being identified as the girlfriend of Tom Silvagni during a high-profile court case in Melbourne. Silvagni, the son of AFL legend Stephen Silvagni, was sentenced this week to more than six years in prison for rape.

Background of the case

Tom Silvagni, 23, was convicted by a jury for a sexual assault that took place in January 2024 at his family home in Balwyn North, while his parents were overseas. The County Court heard that Silvagni impersonated his friend to enter a dark bedroom and assaulted a young woman. He later altered an Uber receipt in an attempt to mislead investigators.

Judge Gregory Lyon described the offence as planned and deceptive. He said Silvagni showed no remorse and had no insight into his actions. The court sentenced him to six years and two months in prison, with parole eligibility after three years and three months.

Who is Alannah Iaconis?

Alannah Iaconis was present at the Silvagni home on the night of the incident. Court records confirmed she was Tom Silvagni’s girlfriend at the time. She was one of four people in the house that night, along with Silvagni, the victim, and Silvagni’s close friend Anthony LoGiudice.

Apart from her name and presence, no further personal details about Alannah Iaconis have been made public. She has not been accused of any crime, nor has she made public statements regarding the case.

Impact on families

The case has deeply affected several families. The Silvagni and LoGiudice families, once close, are reported to have fallen out following the trial. The victim, who has chosen to remain anonymous, told the court she felt betrayed by someone she trusted.

During sentencing, the victim sat with her family as the details were read aloud. The Silvagni family watched quietly as their son appeared via video link from custody.

A famous name under scrutiny

The Silvagni name holds legendary status in Australian football. Stephen Silvagni is a Carlton great and a member of the AFL Team of the Century. His father, Sergio Silvagni, was also a club icon. Tom’s older brother, Jack Silvagni, currently plays AFL.

However, the judge noted that background and privilege did not excuse the crime. He said Silvagni’s actions were marked by planning and manipulation.

The suppression order that had kept Tom Silvagni’s identity hidden for more than a year was lifted after his conviction, bringing the case into full public view.
