  • PC Quinn sustained severe injuries to his head, face, neck, and limbs before his colleagues intervened to assist him.

  • Robert Jenner, a 50-year-old naturist known as the 'Naked Carpenter', was convicted of attempted murder for stabbing Police Constable Sean Quinn 23 times with scissors.

  • Kent Police characterized the attack as a 'sustained and savage' act against a frontline officer, highlighting the dangers police face in their duties.

  • When police arrived at his flat, Jenner was naked and had barricaded himself inside, refusing to allow officers entry.

  • The violent assault took place at Jenner's flat in Maidstone, Kent, after police responded to reports of indecent exposure.

  • Upon arrival, PC Quinn pursued Jenner into a dark room, where he was immediately attacked with scissors.

  • In December 2024, a jury convicted Jenner of attempted murder, with the trial featuring body-worn footage that captured the brutal attack.

  • Jenner did not attend his trial or provide evidence, and he denied the charges of attempted murder and wounding with intent.

  • On February 4, 2025, Jenner was sentenced to 30 years in prison, deemed 'dangerous' and required to serve at least two-thirds of his sentence before being eligible for parole.

  • Following his release, Jenner will also face an extended license period of five years.
