An innocent man who spent 17 years in prison is "insulted and appalled" that his rapist might serve less time. Labour MP Yasmin Qureshi asked the attorney general, Richard Hermer, to review Paul Quinn's 14-year minimum sentence. Malkinson, 60, was wrongly jailed for 17 years before his conviction was quashed in 2023.
