“Santa Claus” Pedophile Caught in New Jersey

Posted by Cole Gamble

A man know for playing Santa Claus and painting children's faces was arrested Thursday for pedophilia after an international manhunt.

 

Wayne Nelson Corliss, 58, is charged with producing child pornography. If convicted he faces 10 to 20 years in prison.

 

Colleagues of Corliss described him as a “witty” and “amiable” man. Because Corliss was connected to a child pornography investigation in Canada, this case marked only the second time Interpol has launched a public manhunt for a suspected pedophile.

 

I knew there was a reason those mall Santas creeped me out. Makes Bad Santa look pretty good in comparison.

Pedophiles are bad news in general (obviously), but there is something extra sick about Santa Claus being connected to child pornography. I guess it just seems sad when you think about how excited kids get over the whole Santa thing.
