100-Year-Old Pedophile Sent Back To Prison
100-Year-Old Pedophile Sent Back To Prison
Man Violated Parole By Skipping Offender Classes

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A 100-year-old pedophile who violated his parole by skipping sex offender classes is back behind bars in upstate New York.

Theodore Sypnier was released to a Buffalo halfway house last fall after serving 18 months in prison for the same type of parole violation. The state Parole Board announced Friday that he had been ordered to serve two more years behind bars.

Authorities say Sypnier sexually molested children as young as 4 years old for decades in Buffalo and later in the Town of Tonawanda. He was released from prison in 2008, after serving time on a 1999 conviction for molesting two young sisters.

His 58-year-old daughter says Sypnier molested her and other neighborhood girls when she was young, and pedophiles never change no matter how old they get.

3. What is the point of putting someone 100 years old in prison?
No matter what he did, he is certainly incapable of it now.

4. He violated his parole.
You make certain promises when they parole you and you damn well better live up to them or back you go.

That's parole.

5. Perhaps he couldn't make it because
his walker had a flat.

Couldn't they just put him in assisted living? No one escapes that.

7. Because he broke the law.
He was put in prison for what he already did, not for what he could do in the future. He was paroled. Now he is being returned because he violated parole.

9. It's not clear from the article that he is incapable of molesting children, now.
If he's mobile and has the use of his hands, he can still do a lot of damage. A sex offender of this class (children as young as 4) will change when they throw the dirt over him and not before.

13. Are you serious? Even if all his parts don't work as they used to,
he can still damage kids.

21. I don't think the point of prison is just to prevent someone from doing something, it's to punish.

6. My first thought was "They finally got the pope!"
I was surprised to learn that it happened here - I missed the newspaper today and yesterday.

10. When was the last time he committed a sex crime against a juvenile?
Geesh!! He did it when he was 90 years old with a 4 year old girl.

12. Remember that Steven Stayner's abductor at the age of 74
tried to convince his nurse to buy a little boy for him for 500 dollars.

Age does not make a predator stop being a predator.

14. He's obviously doing this on purpose. At 100, he's better of in prison, and he knows it. -nt

16. Maybe the inmates don't think worth it beating up a 100 year old.
Either that, or he's being successfully isolated from the wannabe "justice deliverers".

17. Right
But a 100 year old baby raper had to have been a younger baby raper once. How did he avoid "prison justice" for this long?

20. If he has access to any funds at all, and IIRC inmates can still receive
soc sec benefits in their accounts, he can hire a bodyguard when he goes out in general population for a few bags of chips and some cigarettes.
