NEWARK, N.J. AP – An actor who played Santa Claus and painted children’s faces was arrested on child sex charges early Thursday after an international manhunt, just the second time Interpol sought the public’s help to find a suspected pedophile.

Wayne Nelson Corliss, 58, was arrested Thursday morning in his Union City apartment. He is suspected of sexually abusing at least three boys from Southeast Asia thought to have been 6 to 10 years old, according to the international police agency.
