A Florida father was furious Wednesday after a 35-year-old suspect accused of raping the father’s teenage daughter in a restaurant was released from a Broward County jail.
"This is not justice. He should be with no bond, held with no bond," the father, identified only as Jimmy, told WSVN-TV of Miami.
Suspect Wilver Lopez Vega and the 16-year-old girl were co-workers at the restaurant in Pompano Beach, the station reported.
