Convicted Rapist's DNA Link to 1993 Crime

0:00On April 17th, Paul Quinn, now 52, just got convicted for the brutal 2003 rape and attack on a woman near a sulfured motorway. This after an innocent guy, Andrew Malkinson, spent 17 years behind bars for the same crime. Quinn's DNA finally nailed him on two rape counts, plus Grievous bodily harm and attempted triangulation. He faces sentencing soon. Quinn had a long rap sheet starting young cautions and convictions for assaults and unlawful sex with a minor back in the 80s and 90s. Cops took his DNA in 2012 during a routine check on old offenders, but it sat unmatched until 2022 when tech linked. It too saliva on the victim's clothes. The impact hit hard. Malkinson lost nearly two decades fighting to prove his innocence while the real victim endured years without true justice. Quinn lived free, raising six kids and working and fencing, even as he secretly tracked the case online, searching DNA database questions as pressure. Built.

1:00New details from the trial, painted quins, wild nights out, shirtless and prowling clubs, matching the victim's description of her bare-chested attacker. His ex-wife testified he came home shirtless that night and friends confirmed his habits. Detectives worry he might have more victims from his unchecked years. This wraps a dark chapter, shining light on justice flaws, with a public inquiry ahead to unpack the delays. The real perpetrators locked up now, giving closure where it counts.
