Sex offender convicted of rape after Andrew Malkinson miscarriage of justice
Case Summary
A sex offender has been convicted of a brutal rape for which another man spent 17 years in jail after a notorious miscarriage of justice. 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. Father-of-six Quinn, a sex offender from the age of 12, was arrested almost two decades later after advances in DNA testing meant in 2022 a billion-to-one match of his DNA profile was made with saliva left on the victim’s vest top.
