Serial Rapist Convicted After 17-Year Miscarriage

0:00On April 17th, a serial rapist named Paul Quinn just got convicted for a brutal 2003 attack in Salford, England, where he raped and strangled a woman on a motorway embankment. This after Andrew Malkinson spent 17 years wrongfully locked up for the same crime, one of Britain's biggest miscarriages of justice. New DNA from the victim's clothing matched Quinn with a one-in-a-billion certainty. Cops took his sample back in 2012 during a sex offender sweep, but blunders kept it from linking up until 2022, letting him roam. Free for over two decades, Malkinson got his name cleared last year, and now says justice is done, though police rushed a conviction on him as an easy target. The victim feels relieved, but robbed of normal life, while campaigners slammed the system for ignoring the DNA for years. Quinn's got a dark past, starting with an indecent assault at age 12, plus convictions for unlawful sex at 16, and assaults in the 90s. Detectives now think he might link to other unsolved cases from his Salford days.

1:03With sentencing set for June 5th, inquiries into police failure's role on, probing six officers for misconduct, finally nailing the real predator brings some closure after all this wasted time.
