The gay owner of FIT Personal Training, a popular Dupont Circle area gym, was arrested on Nov. 28 on a single charge of Distribution of Child Pornography following a four-month joint FBI-D.C.
police investigation triggered by information provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), according to an arrest affidavit filed in the U.S.
District Court for D.C. The six-page “Statement of Facts” affidavit alleges that Michael Everts, 48, a resident of an apartment in the same building where FIT Personal Training gym is located at 1633 Q St., N.W., sent by email photos and video images of prepubescent and post pubescent boys engaging in sex with adult men to an undercover FBI “employee” who had befriended Everts through the gay online hookup site Sniffies.
The affidavit says an employee of Sniffies alerted NCMEC on July 25, 2023, that a Sniffies user was exchanging messages with other Sniffies users displaying an interest in images of underage boys for sexual gratification.
