Ron Holmes
Internet Safety Advocate

Ron has many years of law enforcement experience with 5+ years of undercover work. He was declared totally & permanently disabled about 9 years ago and in an attempt to stay active and utilize the many skills he'd acquaired as the result of being a professional police officer, he chose to become involved in Internet safety issues with his primary focus being on illegal Internet "kiddie porn" as well as Internet predators. Ron was recently featured on a local Fox News report and speaks before high school audiences. Ron has conducted in-depth research, documenting all 50 state’s laws/codes/statutes on illegal sexual conduct with children (research can be seen at www.childabuseunit.com) and he testified before the last session of the Indiana State Senate to raise the age of consent from 14 to 16. The legislation passed and is now law. Ron has his B.S. in Criminal Justice, his A.S. in Computer Programming and his Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.). He has written and had published 6 books on computer applications and has taught 6+ years at a local community college (database management systems, spreadsheet applications, word processing, and introduction to business). Ron’s motto has been and always will be: "If I can help just one child, or one target of alleged illegal Internet harassment, then I have contributed something positive."
