Description:

Andrew Malkinson has said the sentence given to the rapist responsible for the attack for which he was wrongly imprisoned for 17 years is an "insult".

Paul Quinn, 52, was given a 24-year sentence for attacking a woman in the Little Hulton area of Salford in 2003, but could be eligible for parole in 14 years.

Malkinson - wrongly convicted in one of the worst miscarriages of justice in British history - said Quinn was a "violent, depraved individual" but had received "a softer sentence" than his life term.

Jurors at Manchester Crown Court heard Quinn's DNA was found on the woman's vest and he had searched online to see how long police kept samples.

The victim, referred to as a "hero" by the judge, said the impact of the rape attack would "remain with me for life".
