The Victorian Supreme Court has confirmed the 23-year-old has appealed his convictions after he was found guilty of two counts of rape.
He was jailed for six years last month.
There is no hearing date listed yet.
Silvagni was sentenced to a non-parole period of three years and three months at Victoria’s County Court on December 17.
He was found guilty of two counts of rape on December 5 following a two-week trial in the Victorian County Court.
He denied he digitally raped his friend’s girlfriend at his Melbourne home in the early hours of January 14, 2024.
The woman had consensual sex with her boyfriend at the house but then he organised an Uber and left the property shortly before 2am.
The jury found that Silvagni then lied, telling the woman her boyfriend would be returning upstairs because his Uber had been cancelled.
It concluded it was Silvagni who went into the dark bedroom a short time later and pretended to be the woman’s boyfriend before digitally raping her twice.
There had been a suppression over his identity since he was first charged with rape in June 2024, with his lawyers arguing publication could lead to the deterioration of his mental health.
