Melbourne’s Secret Rape Trial: Unmasking Tom Silvagni
About this episode
In this episode, Wayne is joined by journalist Paul Shapiro to unpack one of the most explosive legal stories to hit Australia this year: the public naming of Tom Silvagni, a 23 year old from one of Victoria’s most prominent AFL families, after a long running suppression battle.
For nearly 18 months, courts kept his identity and family ties secret. But now a judge has now lifted the gag order protecting Silvagni, shortly after he was convicted of rape, making his awful crime public to the world.
