An Okaloosa County jury convicted Michael Todd Ronna on April 10, 2025, of two counts of using a computer to facilitate or solicit a parent, legal guardian, or custodian to consent to the sexual conduct of a child.
According to court records, Ronna communicated over several months with an undercover officer who was posing as the father of a 10-year-old girl on a social media platform. During those communications, Ronna asked to rent the child for sexual contact. Investigators obtained search warrants confirming that the social media account used in the conversations belonged to Ronna.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case through its Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) division. Assistant State Attorney Sarah Barickman prosecuted the case on behalf of State Attorney Ginger Bowden Madden of the First Judicial Circuit.
Ronna is scheduled to be sentenced on May 22, 2025, before Circuit Judge William Stone.
