Sex offender found guilty of brutal rape that innocent man served 17 years in prison for

• Paul Quinn, 52, has been convicted of the brutal rape and grievous bodily harm of a woman in Little Hulton, Salford, which occurred on 19 July 2003.
• His conviction comes after Andrew Malkinson, 60, spent 17 years wrongly imprisoned for the same crime, being released in 2020 and having his conviction quashed in 2023.
• Quinn, a registered sex offender, was identified in 2022 through advances in DNA testing, which matched his profile to saliva found on the victim's clothing.
• A jury at Manchester Crown Court found Quinn guilty of two counts of rape, causing grievous bodily harm, and attempting to choke or strangle his victim.
• The miscarriage of justice has prompted a public inquiry into systemic failings, an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct into Greater Manchester Police officers, and resignations from the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
