Paul Quinn convicted of 2003 rape

The verdict marks a long-awaited moment of justice for both the victim and Malkinson, who had his conviction quashed in 2023.

Greater Manchester Police have admitted that the conviction is 'two decades too late' and have apologized for the systemic errors that allowed the real perpetrator to remain free.

Quinn, a serial sex offender, was identified after advanced forensic testing on a sample from the victim's clothing.

The case is being cited as one of the most significant miscarriages of justice in British legal history.
