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.

Are Richard Galvan and Sonia Galvan trying to bury the court opinion?

The 13th Court of Appeals Opinion written by Chief Justice Dori Contreras was released in October of 2019. Multiple legal websites posted it (which you can find here) and with an easy search on Google you could find it just by typing the names of the parties involved. After a few months they began disappearing from Google Search one by one, until they couldn’t be found. Assuming this was done at the request of The Galvan’s, this website was created to ensure the public has free and easy access to the public information. Over the last month there have been multiple articles (like the one below) posted regarding Richard and Sonia Galvan and their company G5 Internet Services. The Galvan’s have assumingely hired a company for reputation management (which they discussed in their depositions), as well as have seemingly attempted to get the opinion of the court ranking lower on Google and harder to find through a simple search. There are blog posts being released almost daily (all of which say generically the same thing, and written in a way to boost SEO). Clearly, this is an attempt to try and bury the court opinion.

The opinion from the court is that this WAS and REMAINS a matter of public concern. The public has the right to know about Richard Galvan’s prior sexual misconduct, assault, and he and Sonia Galvan’s attempt to sue the victim into silence, despite how much they would like for it to be hidden by paying for generic articles which seem to be written by themselves (or from writers in Kenya).
