Update:
Theodore Sypnier, a 100 year old man, who is New York State's oldest registered sexoffender, is scheduled to move by week's end out of a Buffalo halfway house for released inmatesand into a place of his own, after completing his latest term in state prison for molesting littlegirls. He has been called an unrepentant child molester and the personification of evil byErie County District Attorney Frank Sedita, who says Sypnier remains a threat to children. The director of the halfway house warned that the spry and active Sypnier has not changed from themanipulator who used his grandfatherly charm to snare and rape victims as young as 4. Whether he's 100 or 101 or 105, the same person that was committing these crimes 10, 25, 30 yearsago still exists today and has an unrepentant heart, said the Rev. Terry King, Director of GraceHouse, which has twice taken Sypnier in from prison. He is someone that as we parents, asmembers of the community, any community, really need to fear.
