Wayne Corliss

Guide Note

May 8, 2008: Wayne Nelson Corliss, AKA Casey Wayne, was captured and charged with sexually abusing children in southeast Asia. Corliss, who is 58, works as an actor.

The arrest just two days after Interpol released his photograph, seen in abuse photos, to appeal for public help in idenifying him

Immigration and Customs enforcement officers arrested Corliss in Union City, New Jersey.

On May 6, Interpol released images of a man suspected of severely sexually abusing young boys. The images showed a white man, with thinning gray hair.

The decision to appeal to the public was spurred by a failed investigation of two years.

Interpol hoped they would get the same outcome as the Christopher Paul Neil appeal in October 2007, which led to a quick arrest of the suspect.
