Robert Jenner Convicted of Attempted Murder of Officer

Robert Jenner, a 50-year-old man from Maidstone, has been found guilty of attempted murder after stabbing police officer PC Sean Quinn 23 times with scissors during an altercation on June 15, 2023. The incident occurred when officers arrived at Jenner's home in response to reports of indecent exposure, where he had barricaded himself inside. Upon entering, PC Quinn was attacked, sustaining severe injuries, including a gaping wound that exposed his skull. Jenner, a self-proclaimed naturist with a history of exposure offenses, had been released from prison just two days prior to the assault. Despite pleading not guilty, he was convicted after a trial held in his absence, with the jury concluding that his actions demonstrated intent to kill. Sentencing is yet to be scheduled, as PC Quinn continues to recover and has not returned to duty.
