Tim Ballard, whose tales of going undercover to rescue children from international sex traffickers inspired the box office hit ‘Sound of Freedom,’ has been accused of sexually assaulting five women who joined him on his sting operations.
In a lawsuit filed Monday in Utah, the women alleged that Ballard would “manipulate” them and coerce them into sexual acts as part of his trafficking rescue missions via Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), the nonprofit he founded.
KSL, a Salt Lake City TV station, first reported that a lawsuit had been filed Oct. 9, weeks after reports started circulating that Ballard left OUR this summer over sexual misconduct allegations.
