Tom Silvagni files appeal against rape conviction

“We all love and support our son, Tom. Our son continues to maintain his innocence and we stand firmly behind him.

“We will be considering our options to appeal and shall not be making any further comments on this case.

“Our goal is to clear his name and bring him home. We ask for our privacy and to be respectful.”

Prosecutors told the court Silvagni had lied about being the woman’s boyfriend during the rape and later tried to cover it up by doctoring an Uber receipt to create doubts that he was the perpetrator.

The Supreme Court confirmed the appeal though a hearing date was yet to be listed for the matter.
