A father in Pawnee, Oklahoma is furious that the man convicted of raping his teenage daughter is out of jail after serving only four months.

Jurors sentenced 38-year-old Gregory Bryant to 30 years in prison for raping the 13-year-old girl. But Pawnee County District Court Judge Jefferson Sellers said the jury's verdict was a miscarriage of justice, so he suspended Bryant's sentence.

The victim's father says the decision is a slap in the face. "That doesn't do no justice for me. He was convicted of first degree rape and he's out walking the streets. It was a child and it was my child, and I'm very angry about it."

Bryant worked for the Pawnee Water Department, even though he doesnâ€™t have to do time, he will have to register as a sex offender.
