Andrew Malkinson, wrongly imprisoned for 17 years for a rape he didn't commit, has called the 24-year sentence of the actual perpetrator, Paul Quinn, an 'insult'. Quinn, 52, was sentenced for attacking a woman in Salford in 2003, a crime for which Malkinson was wrongly convicted. Malkinson stated that Quinn received a 'softer sentence' than his own life term, despite being a 'violent, depraved individual'. The victim, who was brutally beaten and raped, described the impact as something that 'will remain with me for life'. Quinn's DNA, taken after a previous conviction, linked him to the crime. A public inquiry is underway due to failings in Malkinson's case, with several police officers under investigation.
The court heard Quinn's history included convictions for indecent assault and underage sex. The judge praised the victim as a 'hero', noting her remarkable strength. Malkinson hopes Quinn will not receive parole, seeking a longer sentence for the perpetrator than he served as an innocent man.
