Robert Jenner, known as the 'Naked Carpenter' for his habit of performing carpentry in the nude, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for stabbing a police officer 23 times during a frenzied attack.
Robert Jenner , a 50-year-old serial flasher known as the ' Naked Carpenter ', was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the attempted murder of a police officer . On June 15, 2023, Jenner stabbed Kent Police Constable Sean Quinn 23 times with a pair of scissors at his flat in Maidstone. Authorities responded to Jenner's flat following allegations of indecent exposure in nearby Mote Park. Upon arrival, officers found Jenner naked and agitated, barricaded inside his apartment.
After officers forced entry, Jenner fled into a darkened room. Constable Quinn pursued him and was immediately attacked by Jenner. Prosecutors described the assault as 'brutal, frenzied and wholly gratuitous', with Jenner deliberately targeting the exposed areas of the officer's upper body. Constable Quinn sustained 19 wounds above his neckline, three to his bare arm, and one that pierced his wrist. The most severe injury was a large gash across his forehead, exposing his skull. PC Quinn's fellow officers intervened, ending the attack. Jenner, covered in blood, claimed he 'didn't mean to do it' and 'didn't want it to come to this'. Despite being found guilty of attempted murder by a jury, Jenner refused to attend his sentencing hearing. Judge Philip St.John-Stevens acknowledged the 'extraordinary risk and level of abuse' faced by police officers while considering the sentence. Constable Quinn, supported by family, friends, and colleagues, attended the hearing. However, Jenner remained in his cell at London's high-security Belmarsh Prison. Prosecutor Tom Dunn read victim impact statements, including one from Constable Quinn, who had served for 27 years at the time of the attack. He described the physical and emotional scars left by the assault, noting that his injuries have healed but the scars serve as a constant reminder. Constable Quinn also suffered nerve damage to his forehead and feared he would have to leave his policing career, which deeply upset him as he had wished to retire on his own terms. The attack also impacted Constable Quinn's family. He expressed 'huge guilt' for what his wife Sharon endured. He felt overwhelmed by the support from family, colleagues, and friends but struggled to understand why Jenner had attacked him so violently. Constable Quinn and his wife questioned Jenner's motives, as there was no explanation for the assault
