The Forensic Nurse

Suspected pedophile and international fugitive Wayne Nelson Corliss was arrested last night in an apartment in Union City, New Jersey last night.

Corliss, age 57 was arrested by US immigration and customs agents stemming from a request from Interpol. Interpol announced that they were looking for the man on tuesday in relation to child pornography charges. Corliss was featured in over 100 photographs depicting him sexually abusing at least three boys between the ages of 6 and 10 years of age.

Norwegian officials originally discovered the photographs in 2006, but were unable to ascertain the identity of the man at the time. The photos were believed to have been taken somewhere in southeast asia.

Interpol released 6 photographs on its website on tuesday in an attempt to get a positive id on the man. Within 24 hours they received hundreds of tips and more than a 10 fold increase in internet traffic to its website.

This was not the first time that such tactics have been used by Interpol. Last october, they posted photos of an unknown individual wanted for child sexual abuse in veitnam and cambodia.
