A sex offender who was found guilty of a rape which saw an innocent man jailed for 17 years has been sentenced to 24 years.
Paul Quinn, 52, attacked the woman in Little Hulton, Salford, in 2003 but Andrew Malkinson was wrongly convicted the following year in one of the worst miscarriages of justice in British history.
Jurors at Manchester Crown Court heard Quinn’s DNA was later found on the woman’s vest and he had searched online to see how long police kept samples.
The father-of-six, of Exeter, Devon, and formerly of Little Hulton, Salford, was also found guilty of strangulation and causing grievous bodily harm.
