Richard Galvan previous prostitution arrest. Archives - Crews vs Richard Galvan and Sonia Galvan

Why did Pastors Bill Moore and Anne Moore refuse to speak about Richard and Sonia Galvan and South Texas FCA block our messages ?

The So uth Texas Fellowship of Christian Athletes was notified about Richard Galvan’s prior sexual deviant behavior, as well as Bill Moore and Anne Moore of Livingway Family Church in Brownsville, TX. Richard Galvan served on the board for the FCA and was a member of Livingway Family Church, who according to the Melissa Barrera-Sosa (executive assistant to Bill and Anne Moore) was “a very active member”. The South Texas FCA blocked Blaine from being able to send messages via FB, nor would they speak to him over the phone about the serious allegations. He attempted to reach Nathan Jones (Multi Area Director) and Catherine Bain (Administrative Assistant). Bain also seems to run their FB page, and assumptively is who blocked Blaine from being able to send messages. The National FCA did take the matters serious enough and spoke to the Crews’s Attorney, but none of the leaders at the local level would.

The same can be said of Pastors Bill and Anne Moore of Livingway Family Church in Brownsville, TX who not only refused to speak about the matters, but their executive assistant Melissa Barrera- Sosa filed a sworn affidavit attempting to assist the Galvans by claiming Blaine went from “cordial to upset” when he was notified the pastors wouldn’t speak to him. That would be a normal emotion if an attempt to speak to the head pastors of a church (that assumptively has many young women who attend) refused to speak to you about matters that may protect said young women. It should have been at the very least a simple phone call from the pastors to hear the truth of these allegations for themselves. Instead, Bill Moore and Anne Moore not only refused to speak to the Crews’s or their attorney about the sexaul assault (which was criminal in nature), they seem to have allowed their assistant to assist Richard Galvan and Sonia Galvan by filing an affidavit (shown below). Oddly enough, when the Crews’s attorney called Living Way Family Church and spoke to one of the church secretaries, she said Bill and Anne Moore weren’t familiar with the Galvans. This is a lie. Richard Galvan admitted in his depositions that Bill Moore called him and text him regarding this situation multiple times. Their assistant Melissa Barrera- Sosa also states in her affidavit that the Bill Moore and Anne Moore met with Richard Galvan and Sonia Galvan. The truth is it seems The Moore’s are trying to cover for a sexual predator, or simply ignoring the truth. Either way, they are failing to do what is necessary to protect the young women of their church. The church has also deleted several comments on their social media platforms regarding the information, and Anne Moore blocked Blaine on social media.

Ideally, when you call to notify a church or school organization about something as disturbing and criminal as what Richard Galvan did to a 17 year old girl they would take the matters extremely serious. When we send our young people to school, or church, we expect the leaders or anyone in authority to be properly vetted for the protection of the students and young people. Also, it should be expected that matters are taken seriously by leadership when an attempt to speak the truth about the sexual assault of a teenage girl occurs. Pastors Bill and Anne Moore should be ashamed of themselves, as well as the behavior of the South Texas FCA. Even after the 13th Court of Appeals Opinion stating it was a matter of public concern, as well as admissions by Richard and Sonia Galvan’s own depositions neither the Administration from the South Texas FCA nor Pastors Bill and Anne more have yet to respond or reach out to the Crews’s or their attorney for comments.

*UPDATE*

After two years of ignoring the facts Livingway sent Blaine a FB message. It speaks for itself. Following the message and “threat” they blocked Blaine from being able to respond, as did the Youth Pastor of Livingway – Ryan Moore. So, the 13th Court of Appeals has deemed the actions of Richard Galvan a matter of public concern, Richard and Sonia’s depositions have admissions of criminal behavior and lies, and Livingway Family Church believes since they didn’t know the Galvan’s when the events took place, it’s none of their business… and we should let it go. The church is supposed to be a place of protection. Also remember- they filed an affidavit in support of the Galvan’s, and now want to act like they’ve had no part in this. They are hiding the truth, and trying to brush it under a rug.

This is the reason sexual predators are able to get away with their actions. Churches like Livingway are clearly only concerned with one thing… and it’s not protecting their young women.

Transcripts from Richard Galvans deposition below in which he acknowledges Pastor Bill Moore took his phone call, as well as called him back after Blaine attempted to reach him regarding Richard’s sexual assault, and criminal behavior. Yet, The Moore’s tried to act like they didn’t really know the Galvans. Oddly enough, Richard admits he called and told Bill Moore that Blaine threatened his children (not true). Richard later admitted in his deposition that was a lie. So- both pastors Bill and Anne Moore know the truth, they just refuse to acknowledge it.

Why would Bill Moore speak to an admitted sexual predator, but not the person speaking the truth regarding the allegations in an attempt to warn him that there was a sexual deviant in his church? Shouldn’t a pastor be concerned enough about the young women in his congregation to at least pick up the phone and call someone trying to speak about something like this? Instead, he has still to this day refused to speak to the Crews’s.

I want this to be clear. I have no ill feelings towards any of Richard or Sonia Galvans children, nor is it their fault that their father is a predator, and their mother is a lying enabler. They are innocent parties. However, Livingway Family Church hired their daughter on staff, and decided it would be a good idea to use her for a video regarding fasting. It wouldn’t normally be an issue, but the fact that there is ANY attempt by this “church” to allow the words “growing up my parents (Richard and Sonia Galvan) did this with us” to be promoted publicly in some way to show them in a good light is abhorrent.

Pastors Bill and Anne Moore have spent years completely silent regarding the truth, and in fact have never once publicly apologized for their lack of concern regarding a predator in their church. Now, it’s clear to say who’s side they are on, and it isn’t the side of truth.

The fact that they would allow a statement to be made by the daughter of a known predator (who the court had already deemed a matter of public concern) and her mother (who was caught in multiple counts of perjury in her deposition) is an attempt to suppress the truth and involvement surrounding the factual allegations made regarding the assault and subsequent lawsuit filed by the Galvans against Richards victim. This is not a real church.

Livingway Family Church posted the above video to their instagram page featuring Richard and Sonia Galvan’s daughter Elliana. Even after the courts determined Richard’s actions were a matter of public concern, they have yet to ever speak to The Crews’s, yet they will allow the daughter of a rapist to praise her parents for being Godly.

See below for the Affidavit of Melissa Barrera-Sosa, Executive Assistant for Livingway Family Church, as well as screenshots from the FCA showing they blocked Blaine from being able to send messages.

Clearly, Blaine was attempting to notify the pastors of Livingway Bill and Anne Moore. He became upset when they refused to speak about the matters. Why are Bill and Anne Moore, along with Melissa-Barerra Sosa attempting to assist a sexual predator?

Bill Moore posted a video to his instagram account about “cleaning your house”. He made comments about how we need to deal with all the things hidden, and make room for God. Well, immediately after posting this comment Blaine was blocked and the comment was deleted. This is the Moore’s M.O. They will tell you to clean your closet out, but block, and delete anyone who is exposing theirs.

What do you expect though when the pastors of a church (after having the knowledge of the events) block the truth tellers, and follow the predators.

The Galvan’s daughter speaking to students at Living Way Family Church in 2018 (around the time they were notified that Richard Galvan was a sexual predator). This was the very reason the church was called and expected to notify their church of a sexual predator in their midst. They failed to do so.

Livingway Church keeps deleting comments and anything related to Richard and Sonia Galvan. Bill and Anne Moore have refused to acknowledge and address the fact that they have had a sexual predator in their church. Even after Richard has admitted it they still refuse to address it, and are only concerned with people not knowing about it. Richard and Sonia Galvan’s daughter is a member of the youth group there.

Showing Livingway Church in Brownsville keeps deleting comments to hide the truth. A church trying to protect a sexual predator. Is this what you would want from your pastors as parents of young women? Oddly enough Melissa-Barrera Sosa is the one singing in the picture.

Shows the “message tab” removed, due to South Texas FCA blocking the ability to send messages from Blaine’s account.

Do parents have the right to know about Richard Galvan and Sonia Galvan?

Richard Galvan and Sonia Galvan claim in their depositions that they never held any type of leadership roles over youth or young people. There are sworn affidavits from pastors, board members of the church, and former church members that stated what the Galvan’s claim was and is a lie. Secondly, there are numerous news articles where Richard Galvan and Sonia Galvan were interviewed as Youth Pastors.

Should Richard or Sonia Galvan be able to have a leadership role in any capacity when it comes to youth or young people, especially young women? Do parents deserve to know the truth of Richard Galvan’s sexual past, as well as he and Sonia Galvan’s countless lies? Richard, along with being on the board for the FCA of South Texas, also participated in the HCISD school system as an “ambassador”. This is clearly a role of leadership and authority. I assume that parents of students want assurance that when they send their child to school they are around upstanding adults and teachers, and not subject to be around men like Richard Galvan, who’s past and actions speak for itself. The same can be said of Sonia Galvan, who has not only lied about her husband’s sexual assault, but has continued to enable the behavior by telling different stories throughout written and oral discovery.

Does this look like a position of authority or leadership?

Richard Galvan should have never been let to be around students in the community. He was and continues to be a danger to young women, as the 13th Court of Appeals in Texas as stated it remains a matter of public concern.

Do reviews of G5 Internet Services and claims of net worth shed light into Richard Galvan’s character?

Although Richard Galvan and Sonia Galvan are attempting to flood the internet with articles they are seemingly paying for, it’s very clear what customers and former employees opinions about Richard Galvan and G5 Internet Services are. Richard Galvan’s new website “www.richardgalvan.com” is being used to link paid articles about he and his wife Sonia, and their company G5 Internet Services. They seem to be doing this to bury the truth about his sexual deviant past, save face with their company’s negative reviews, as well as hide the court opinion. Their latest article discusses “Richard and Sonia Galvan Share Insight About Running a Company as a Married Couple” with tips on how to work with your spouse. The only tip Richard Galvan forgot to include was “cheat on your spouse and sexually assault a 17 year old teenage girl while having two young children at home”. which would have been an accurate statement coming from him. Below are some tips that Richard and Sonia share..

Below are reviews taken from Google from G5 Internet Services google page.

One review below states “As a former employee this company is super unprofessional and the owner Richard Galvan is money hungry. I can honestly say he is a false Christian and takes advantage of his customers and employees. This company is a waste of time and money! They scam everyone”.

Another review states “Terrible internet, this is by far the worst internet you can get. They will try and scam you out of your money. Don’t let yourself be a victim of the owner Richard Galvan”.

One more says “Worst customer and internet service I have ever experienced. I haven’t had internet in over two weeks and these people don’t pick up their phone. They even changed locations and never mentioned it in their websites or page. Ah, but the one they were able to do is charge me my monthly bill. This internet service is a SCAM. Don’t be a victim.”

These are just a few of the reviews. You can type “G5 Internet Services Mercedes Texas” in google to read them all. Some screenshots are below.

According to a few reviews – they claim Richard Galvan scams people out of their money, and takes advantage of his employees.

Richard Galvan also has publicly stated, and continues to say that he “completed his degree at the University of Texas”. This is a lie. In his depositions, he admitted he never went to UT, nor did he ever receive a college degree. You can go to https://ufind.name/Richard+Galvan and click the link on his name which directs you to his personal FB page. Here again he’s promoting that he attended the University of Texas in Austin.

Clearly shows Richard Galvan claims to have studied at the University of Texas at Austin. He said he NEVER attended there, nor did he ever receive a college degree.

Below taken from Google Search, Richard Galvan’s website “about” section again shows himself claiming to have attended, and completing his degree at UT. What’s even more shocking is that he created this website AFTER his depositions, where he admitted it was a lie.

Here, Richard Galvan (via his own personal website) is claiming to have completed his degree at the University of Texas. The lies the Galvan’s tell are staggering, and easily debunked.

In his Depositions and Written Discovery Richard Galvan claimed his Net Worth was $120,000 dollars. His company claims to supposedly have 7 million dollars in revenue. He also claimed G5 Internet Services didn’t profit that much in 2019. Are Richard and Sonia Galvan making false claims about how profitable their business is?

Richard Galvan was previously arrested for prostitution.

In his deposition on page 212, Richard Galvan was asked if he had ever been arrested in the past for prostitution. He answered “no”. He was then shown court documents, and an affidavit for Warrant and Arrest by The Crews’s attorney from the District Attorney’s office in Travis County, Texas. After looking at the documents, Richard Galvan once again denied having knowledge of these court or arrest records. His attorney then asked to take a short break to discuss with her client Richard Galvan. After the break, Richard Galvan came back and changed his story, admitted to remembering the events as well as seeing the documents, and mentioned the case had been dismissed. It is amazing what a short break can do to ones memory.

Richard Galvan was also asked whether or not the officer E. Leach (who according to the records was propositioned for oral sex) was a man or a woman. Richard Galvan’s answer was “I don’t recall”. The records indicate that Richard Galvan agreed to engage in sexual conduct for a fee. The affidavit states “Richard Galvan offered and agreed to contact between the mouth of the said Richard Galvan and the genitals of E. Leach for a fee”. It would seem that per the documents, Richard Galvan agreed to perform oral sex on the officer for $15 (Fifteen Dollars). It would also seem that Richard Galvan was the prostitute in this arrest, as he was the one offering and agreeing to perform oral sex on an undercover police officer.

According to the records the charges for prostitution were in fact dismissed, due to the officer/informant being “reassigned and unavailable” for trial. It seems to be another instance of sexual misconduct where Richard Galvan was able to avoid prosecution. Clearly, Richard Galvan has had a long record of sexual deviancies and issues, as well as lying. The documents below are public record directly from the Travis County Courthouse.
