Tom Silvagni's rape conviction and the limitations of privilege
About this episode
A son of AFL royalty used his privilege to its full extent when he was accused of rape, but it didn't stop a jury finding him guilty.
In this episode, reporter Alexandra Alvaro explains to Stephen Stockwell how Tom Silvagni's family tried to keep his name out of the news, but how that didn't protect him from a takedown by the judge during sentencing.
Now, Tom Silvagni is appealing his conviction.
