Parents furious over release of man they blame for daughter's death
(CNN) -- A sex offender who admitted drugging a 19-year-old California woman and then, after she died, dumping her body at sea is scheduled to be released Friday after less two years in prison, outraging the victim's parents.

Nili and Reza Jou are organizing a demonstration Friday in Los Angeles. Also on Friday, John Steven Burgess, 38, is to leave the California Institution for Men in Chino, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's website.

The Jous' daughter, Donna, was last seen alive in 2007. Her body has never been found.

"We have been victimized not only by Burgess, we have also been victimized by the criminal justice system," Reza Jou, the victim's father, told HLN's Jane Velez-Mitchell. "We are outraged."
