Global manhunt for serial pedophile who has abused hundreds of young boys

100 photographs show man sexually abusing at least three boys aged 6 to 10

Interpol issued appeal for first time in October, arrest made after 10 days


PARIS, France (CNN) -- Interpol has launched a global appeal to identify a man who is pictured sexually abusing young boys in hundreds of images on the Internet.


Interpol has launched a global appeal to find this man, accused of abusing young boys.

Tuesday's appeal is the second time that Interpol -- an organization that facilitates global cooperation among police agencies -- has asked for the public's help in identifying a suspected pedophile. The first time, last October, led to an arrest ten days later.

The man is featured in 100 photographs sexually abusing at least three boys between the ages of six and 10, Interpol said.

The suspect in the latest case is a white man, shown with gray, thinning hair in six photos released by Interpol.

He appears to be in his late 40s or early 50s in the images. Interpol said that despite two years of investigations, it and other police agencies have so far been unable to determine his identity, nationality or whereabouts.

Interpol posted six photos of the suspect on its Web site.

The pictures came to light in 2006, when Norwegian authorities discovered them in the possession of a man they arrested.

"While these images were only discovered two years ago, we believe the photographs were taken between April 2000 and May 2001, so clearly this man will be older than he appears in the pictures," Kristin Kvigne, assistant director of Interpol's Trafficking in Human Beings unit, said in a news release.

Interpol launches manhunt for pedophile suspect

Tue May 6, 12:03 AM ET

LYON, France - Interpol launched a worldwide appeal to the public Tuesday to help identify a man suspected of sexually abusing young boys from Southeast Asia — hoping the rare move will lead to a quick arrest.

It was only the second time that the international police agency has appealed directly to the public for help in identifying a suspected pedophile. An arrest was made shortly after the first time last October.

The suspect in the latest case is a white man, shown with gray, thinning hair in photos released by Interpol. He appeared to be in his late 40s or early 50s in the images.

Interpol said that despite two years of investigations, it and other police agencies have been unable to determine his identity, nationality or whereabouts — hence the decision to appeal publicly for information.

"The law enforcement community around the world has done all it can to find this man who clearly presents a danger to young children, and we are now asking the public to help identify this predator and protect other potential victims from abuse," Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said in a statement.

In interviews at the agency's headquarters in Lyon, France, Interpol officials said they had recovered photos of the man that allegedly show him sexually abusing at least three boys, apparently between the ages of 6 and 10. The boys appear to be from Southeast Asia — though Interpol officials declined to specify any possible countries.

Kristin Kvigne, assistant director of Interpol's division that combats people trafficking, said it was impossible to know how many other children the man could have abused.

"There are at least three child victims that are in the images, but it could be more," she said in an interview.

Kvigne said the photos show "severe abuse" by the man, but she declined to go into detail.

Two graphic photos seen by The Associated Press, which were not made public, appeared to show the man sexually abusing a tanned thin boy.

"It's important to know that these images were found on the Internet, so the attention that he is going to draw is attention that he actually put on himself when perpetrating against children," Kvigne said.

Interpol said it believes that the photos were taken between April 2000 and May 2001.

Police first became aware of the suspect in March 2006, when photos of him were found on the computer hard-drive of a man arrested in Norway who was later convicted on pedophilia-related charges, Interpol said.

Police then cross-checked those photos against others found on the Internet, to see if there were matches that might link the man to other alleged abuse.

In October, suspected pedophile Christopher Paul Neil, a 32-year-old teacher from Canada, was arrested in Thailand just 11 days after Interpol issued a global appeal to help apprehend him.

In that case, Neil's face had originally been disguised in Internet photos with a digital swirl. Police managed to reverse the swirl process, unmasking his face, and Interpol released those cleaned-up images publicly. Neil was arrested in Thailand on Oct. 19, 2007. He went on trial in March, accused of sexually abusing a 9-year-old boy.

In the latest case, the man did not appear to make any effort to hide his identity on the photos that were seized on the computer in Norway, Interpol officials said.

Interpol officials said they don't know why the man did not attempt to disguise his face, but noted that pedophiles sometimes reveal their identities to win trust in child-sex offender circles, in hopes of getting access to other children or images.

Kvigne said Interpol was "very careful" in weighing the decision to launch the appeal.

"Our main concern is of course the safety of children," she said.

Among the risks, she said, are that an innocent person might be incorrectly identified, "and that's why we encourage people to call police if they believe they know who this man is."

She said people should contact their local police or Interpol, "but to take no action on their own." She also said she hoped the man would come forward to police himself.

PARIS, France (AP) -- A suspected pedophile targeted in an international manhunt was detained Thursday by police in the United States, Interpol announced.

The arrest was made two days after Interpol, the international police agency based in Lyon, France, appealed for public help to track down the man.

Interpol said the man was detained in Union City, New Jersey. The police agency identified the suspect as Wayne Nelson Corliss, 58, an actor who also goes by the stage name of Casey Wane.

Interpol said the man was suspected of sexually abusing at least three young boys from Southeast Asia. It said that photos seized by police in Norway in 2006 showed the man's alleged abuse.

Interpol said the boys were thought to have been as young as 6 to 10 years old.

The agency had appealed for public help because two years of police investigations had failed to determine the man's identity, nationality and whereabouts. Interpol said it feared that the man's alleged abuse of children could continue if he was not caught.

Interpol had said Wednesday that its appeal produced more than 200 leads -- potential names, locations and photos of the suspect -- in the first 24 hours.

It was only the second time that Interpol had launched such a public manhunt for a suspected pedophile.

The first time, last October, also rapidly led to an arrest, by police in Thailand, of a 32-year-old teacher from Canada, Christopher Paul Neil.

In that case, Neil's face had originally been disguised in Internet photos with a digital swirl. Police reversed the swirl process, unmasking his face, and Interpol released those cleaned-up images publicly. Neil went on trial in March, accused of sexually abusing a nine-year-old boy.

The suspect in the latest case did not appear to make any effort to hide his identity in the photos that were seized in Norway on the computer hard drive of a man later convicted of child sex offenses, Interpol officials said.

Interpol on Tuesday had released six photos of the suspect publicly as part of its appeal for help. They showed a gray-haired white man wearing glasses or lying on a checkered mattress or blanket in a yellow plaid shirt.

Other photos seen by The Associated Press, not among those made public, appeared to show the man engaged in sexual acts with boys.

Because of the lack of basic information about the man, Interpol officials had previously been simply calling the suspect "Mr. IDent" -- shortened from the word identity.

Interpol officials said they did not know why the man did not attempt to disguise his face in photos that showed alleged abuse. But officials noted that pedophile offenders sometimes reveal their identities to win trust in child-sex offender circles, in hopes of getting access to other children or images.

A computerized Interpol database of child abuse images played a part in the hunt for the man.

The first photos seized in Norway and others received in the two years since were run through the database of more than 520,000 images. It compared the photos with others, looking for matches.

In all, the database and police investigations helped turn up a total of around 800 images, including nearly 100 of the man himself and others of his suspected victims or places where he is thought to have committed his alleged crimes, Interpol said.

Interpol Pedophile Suspect Caught in New Jersey, Identified
Thursday, May 08, 2008
AP/Interpol

PARIS — Police detained a suspected pedophile in New Jersey Thursday, just two days after Interpol made a rare appeal for public help in the international manhunt to catch him, the police agency said.

Wayne Nelson Corliss, 58, was detained in Union City, N.J., Interpol said. He is suspected of sexually abusing at least three boys from Southeast Asia thought to have been as young as 6 to 10 years old, the international police agency said.

Interpol had asked for the public's help because two years of police investigations had failed to determine the man's identity, nationality and whereabouts.

It was only the second time that Interpol had launched such a public manhunt for a suspected pedophile. The first time, in October, led to the quick arrest by police in Thailand of Christopher Paul Neil, a 32-year-old Canadian.

Neil went on trial in March, accused of sexually abusing a 9-year-old boy.

Interpol said Wednesday that its appeal had produced more than 200 leads — potential names, locations and photos of the suspect — in the first 24 hours.

Photos seized by police in Norway in 2006 showed Corliss' alleged abuse, the international police agency said. He did not appear to make any effort to hide his identity in the photos seized from the computer of a man later convicted of child sex offenses, officials said.

Photos released by Interpol showed a gray-haired white man wearing glasses or lying on a checkered mattress or blanket in a yellow plaid shirt. Other photos seen by The Associated Press, not among those made public, appeared to show the man engaged in sexual acts with boys.

Photos show arrest in global pedophile hunt

NEW: U.S. federal agents detain suspected pedophile sought in global hunt

NEW: Interpol believe suspect worked as a Santa Claus in New York City

NEW: Suspect identified as Wayne Nelson Corliss due in court Thursday

International police agency called for public help to catch him two days before



(CNN) -- A suspected pedophile who became the subject of an international manhunt earlier this week after an appeal from Interpol has been detained in the United States.


Wayne Nelson Corliss was arrested at his New Jersey apartment.

Wayne Nelson Corliss, 58, was arrested at his apartment in Union City, New Jersey, about midnight Thursday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, Interpol said in a written statement.

Corliss later confessed to the allegations during police questioning, Interpol said.

He is believed to have worked as an actor using the name "Casey Wayne," and also to have worked as a Santa Claus in New York City during the holiday season, Interpol said.

He is expected to make an initial court appearance at 2:30 p.m. ET (1830 GMT) Thursday in federal court in Newark, New Jersey, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement.

Interpol on Tuesday announced it was attempting to identify the man, who was featured in 100 photographs sexually abusing at least three boys between the ages of 6 and 10, it said.

The images came to light in 2006, when Norwegian authorities discovered them in the possession of a man they arrested. They were believed to have been taken in Southeast Asia.

Interpol posted six pictures of the suspect on its Web site.

"Two days ago, this man's nationality, identity and location were totally unknown," Interpol Secretary General Ronald K. Noble said.

"All we had to go by were a series of graphic photographs in which the suspect was seen sexually abusing young children and our confidence that the public and police worldwide would once again respond to Interpol's call for assistance.

"That two days later the primary suspect is now in custody is an outstanding achievement and credit to the citizens, media and law enforcement worldwide who responded to Interpol's call
