Thank you Gregg County and all those involved in getting this man behind bars.

“There’s a quote, you are what you think about. It’s okay if you think about money if you do legit business,” Novy said. “You could’ve been one of those decent people. You’re smart enough. You could’ve gone to college, you could’ve gotten a trade. You could’ve been a productive person. All you thought about was money, money, money.”

"Trapped Behind the Scam"

Across the world, transnational organized crime groups are trafficking and exploiting thousands of people, forcing them to participate in industrial-scale financial fraud operations. This growing form of human trafficking involves forced criminality and is closely intertwined with cybercrime, financial fraud, money laundering, and corruption.

Here in East Texas, human trafficking is not a distant problem, it is a reality that impacts our communities every day.

As we recognize the realities of modern-day trafficking, we invite you to join us for our WORLD DAY AGAINST TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS PRAYER GATHERING as we stand together in prayer for our community, our nation, and those who are trapped in exploitation.

Date: Sunday, July 26

Time: 7:00 PM

Location: Gregg County Courthouse Steps, Longview, Texas

Together, we will pray for victims, survivors, vulnerable children and families, law enforcement, service providers, community leaders, and all those working to prevent trafficking and bring hope to those affected by it.

We hope you will join us as we unite in prayer and take a stand against human trafficking. Through awareness, action, and prayer, we can help bring light into dark places and hope to those who need it most.
