Walter Lee Williams, 64, was an anthropology and gender studies professor at the University of Southern California. He left in 2011, an FBI spokeswoman said.

Using academic research as a guise, Williams traveled in the Philippines and elsewhere in Southeast Asia to have sex with boys who were underage, according to the FBI. The bureau said it had identified 10 victims between ages 9 and 17.

"Mr. Williams allegedly utilized his position to identify at-risk youth for the purpose of sexually exploiting them and documenting those events," FBI Assistant Director Ronald Hosko said at a news conference in Washington.

Williams may have lived in Indonesia and Thailand and traveled to Mexico and Peru, the FBI said.

Quick capture in Mexico. I wonder if they will extradite him to Philippines now?

CANCUN, Mexico -- Mexican authorities arrested a former University of Southern California professor who faces sex crimes charges in the Philippines on Tuesday, just hours after he was added to the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list.

The FBI named the 499th and 500th fugitives to the new edition of its 'Ten Most Wanted' list. NBC's Mike Kosnar reports on how the FBI uses media and public support to capture the world's most dangerous criminals.

Walter Lee Williams, 64, was arrested in the southern beach resort of Playa del Carmen. The FBI said he was an anthropology and gender studies professor at the University of Southern California until 2011.

Using academic research as a guise, Williams traveled in the Philippines and elsewhere in Southeast Asia to have sex with underage boys, according to the FBI. The bureau said it had identified 10 victims between ages 9 and 17.

The Quintana Roo state attorney general's office said police found Williams at a cafe on Tuesday night in Playa Del Carmen, a short drive from Cancun.

"He was sitting in a cafe," said state attorney general Armando Garcia. "It's not known what he was up to but he had a home in Cancun."

The FBI added Williams to its most-wanted list on Monday. The bureau was offering a $100,000 reward for information leading directly to his arrest.

No. Americans arrested for sex crimes here are deported and prosecuted in the US.
