Alleged Pedophile Nabbed After Global Hunt

N.J. Man Believed to Be Suspect Seen in Series of 800 Images of Child Sex Abuse

Interpol said it had more than 250,000 hits on its Web site within 24 hours after making the public appeal for help in identifying the man, which is more than 10 times the daily number of hits the site typically receives.

Noble's statement added that he personally spoke with ICE chief Julie Myers to thank her for the agency's quick apprehension of Corliss.

Corliss is slated to appear before Judge Michael Shipp at the federal courthouse in Newark, N.J. Authorities said he will likely face U.S. charges.

A similar campaign in October led to the arrest of Canadian Christopher Paul Neil in Thailand after Interpol distributed his photo. Neil has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is currently in jail.
