"Paul Quinn, 52, was found guilty by a jury of the sex attack on a young mother as she walked home in Little Hulton, Salford, in the early hours of the morning on July 19, 2003."
"Andrew Malkinson, working as a security guard at a local shopping centre, protested his innocence but was wrongly picked out at an identity parade and jailed."
"Following a six-week trial at Manchester Crown Court, Quinn was convicted on Friday of two counts of rape, causing grievous bodily harm, and attempting to choke or strangle his victim."
"A public inquiry is now underway after a 2024 review found failings that could have exonerated Mr Malkinson a decade before he was eventually released from prison."
Paul Quinn, a convicted sex offender, was found guilty of raping a young mother in 2003, leading to the exoneration of Andrew Malkinson. Malkinson was wrongfully imprisoned for 17 years after being misidentified. Advances in DNA testing in 2022 linked Quinn to the crime, resulting in his conviction for two counts of rape, grievous bodily harm, and attempted strangulation. A public inquiry is ongoing to address failings in Malkinson's case, and several police officers are under investigation for their roles in the miscarriage of justice.
