VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — A personal trainer at a Daytona Beach gym is facing more than 100 charges, accused of recording a woman without her consent and having child porn.
David Lee Van Moorsel is charged with 40 counts of digital voyeurism, 40 counts of unlawful use of a two-way communication device, and 30 counts of possession of child porn.
Moorsel was arrested at the gym he worked at, Gold’s Gym Daytona Beach. A witness to the arrest tells Channel 9 it was fast and discreet.
From a personal trainer to an inmate, David Van Moorsel is accused of secretly recording a woman who he once lived with.
“Horrible. Just horrible,” said Sally Johnson.
Volusia County investigators say the investigation started June 16th, when his ex-girlfriend reported he’d been recording their roommate for two years. She also allegedly found two cameras and found he’d been sending nude images and videos to people online.
Investigators also found several legal videos he took of women working out at the gym. While that’s not a crime, it certainly had some gym goers concerned.
“That’s just crazy, because I come to this gym all the time,” said Adrianna Schargen.
“I wear shorts, we all wear shorts, we all wear tank tops, I mean this is horrible,” said Johnson.
Detectives say Van Moorsel was also in possession of child pornography.
“It’s sick inside. It makes you worried for your friends, your friends’ family, everybody in there,” said Johnson.
Gold’s Gym Daytona Beach released a statement saying, in part, “After learning of the shocking charges against trainer David Lee Van Moorsel, we immediately terminated his employment and alerted security that he is banned from our property.”
Van Moorsel does have a record. He was convicted in Montana for touching a 13-year-old relative. He’s also accused of watching a 13-year-old shower.
He’s in the Volusia County Jail with no bond.
