Federal Agents Wednesday arrested Wayne Nelson Corliss, age 59, in Union City, N.J., on charges of producing and distributing child pornography. Corliss was nabbed after more than hundreds of thousands of page views developed numerous tips that came into the international law enforcement agency INTERPOL after it posted pictures of Corliss on its Web site on Monday.

Officials say there are over 100 pictures of Corliss showing sexual abuse with at least three boys between 6 and 10 years old. The pictures were believed to have been taken in Southeast Asia between 2000 and 2001. There are more than 800 pictures of the series involving the boys and Corliss. INTERPOL first got the pictures of Corliss in March 2006 from police in Norway. They were found on a computer seized from another man arrested for possession of child pornography.

This was only the second time that INTERPOL had posted pictures on its Web site and asked the public for help in identifying a child predator. "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," said INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble.

Codenamed, "Operations IDent," the effort marks a new method used by law enforcement to catch child predators like Corliss who travel the world to exploit children. After the successful arrest of Christopher Paul Neil last October, which was made after INTERPOL posted unscrambled pictures of the man on their website, the agency changed its rules to allow for images to posted more frequently to ask for the public's help in catching wanted predators.

Corliss was expected to be arraigned Wednesday in New Jersey.

INTERPOL agents passed the tips onto officials from the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency, ICE, which arrested Corliss at his house.

Law enforcment officials tell CBS News that Corliss had been under surveillance for a day or so before he was arrested. The arrest occured without incident. "We knocked on the door, he identified himself," said one official. When speaking to officers, Corliss did not deny any of the government's allegations of his illicit activities.

Gay men having consensual s e x with 18 or 19-year-old boys/men is not the issue. Their legal. Not little kids. Gay men abusing 6 to 10-year-old boys is the issue.

cruse914:
About 19-30 percent of pedo victims are male, so the remaining percent of victims are female. That pretty much renders your moronic presumption toothless and may I add homeless.

Dear cruse914, I''m not sure where your numbers (19-30%) are coming from but real facts do not seem to justify you.
You migt be a smart guy, I''m just an ordinary old *** with some real life experience.
But honestly aren''t you happy that this dangerous gay pedo is now arrested? Why is this big offense from your side?

Yes, this is odd.
Why is he distributing his own pictures?
Something is really fishy here.
It rather looks like a set up made by some bigger fish.

They should check out Rush Limpdickkk and his NAMBLA trips to South America. He is a KNOWN perv with young South American boys......the sick, twisted, oxy-fat POS.......
-----------------------------------------------------
Rush busted for drugs, AGAIN!!!

He was coming back from a %u201Cvacation%u201D in the Dominican Republic with a bottle of Viagra, and the prescription was not in his name. It is looking like he has broken his plea agreement on the previous prescription drug bust, the one where he was busted for being an Oxycontin addict, and the sick monster might finally go to jail where he belongs.

So what was he doing going to the Dominican Republic with a bottle of illegal Viagra? Mr. highhorse maybe likes his lovers a bit young? If you are the lowest of the low, as we know Rush to be, the thriving *** Tourism business there can provide pleasures that are serious felonies back home. If only there could be an investigation of what exactly he was doing over there in a third world country hopped up on stiff-*** pills.

There are plenty of adult prostitutes here in the U.S.A. and Rush is rich enough to pay for pretty much any strange, perverted request. Travelling to another country tells me that his sick desires have crossed some line that is so horrible that only a third world country can satisfy them. 12 year old boys? It%u2019s time to put the monster behind bars where he belongs.

Rush, the Neocon Hero,....LMMFAO....

Yes,food for thought. I have noticed in my personal life most Gay men wanted to be with much younger mates often 18 and 19 year olds when they are 50+. I think our culture is making a big mistake saying this is "Normal"! I find it very sick.
