A suspected pedophile’s sex abuse of a boxer dog was exposed when his phone was checked after he overdosed on drugs.

Ronnie Lee Ely, 23, reportedly admitted having sex with the boxer at a house in St Mary’s, Florida, in 2014 after police and paramedics seized his phone during the July 2019 overdose.

It was forensically examined to try and establish what may have caused Ely’s overdose – but investigators were instead stunned to find child sex abuse clips.

Those videos are said to have been recorded off a screen, with Ely subsequently admitting he’d had sex with a dog, and kept animal pornography on his phone.




It is unclear whether those clips depicted him with the boxer, or someone else.

News4Jax reported that Ely told cops how he would send and receive pornographic videos using the KIK instant messaging app.

He would upload photos to the app, then join group chats and share his snaps in exchange for child sex abuse images, it is claimed.

It is also unclear whether the photos Ely offered to trade were ones he had taken, and whether he had abused any children himself.

Camden County Sheriff’s Office have since charged him with three counts of child sexual exploitation, bestiality and child molestation.

He is being held in Camden County Jail without bond.

Sheriff’s deputies have appealed for anyone who may have information on possible further victims to come forward.
