Tim Ballard’s exit from Operation Underground Railroad earlier this year followed an investigation into claims of sexual misconduct involving seven women, according to sources with direct knowledge of the organization.
Sources familiar with the situation said that the self-styled anti-slavery activist, who appears to be preparing for a Senate run, invited women to act as his “wife” on undercover overseas missions ostensibly aimed at rescuing victims of sex trafficking. He would then allegedly coerce those women into sharing a bed or showering together, claiming that it was necessary to fool traffickers. Ballard, who was played by Jim Caviezel in the hit film Sound of Freedom, is said to have sent at least one woman a photo of himself in his underwear, festooned with fake tattoos, and to have asked another “how far she was willing to go,” in the words of a source, to save children. These sources requested anonymity because they fear retaliation.
The total number of women involved is believed to be higher than seven, as that would only account for employees, not contractors or volunteers. One source close to OUR has detailed knowledge of Ballard making sexual advances to a volunteer using methods similar to those he allegedly used with OUR employees. Those methods are also consistent with his conduct toward another former volunteer who spoke to VICE News.

My wife actually saves children from abusive situations daily because it's her job by the way. No movies or senate run for her.
Interesting that this comes right after he announced he may seek the Senate seat in Utah, which is being vacated by Mitt Romney.
VICE is biased, they probably help deliver chicken and pizza on the side.
Hmmmm--what say you Mitt?
Are they sure they didn’t want to attack Russel Brand....
Un unnamed source. That generally means a lie.
Vice is a smear job waiting to happen - they don’t care if Tim Ballard sues them for the accusations - at least they’ll have damaged his senate run and that’s all that matters.
Anonymous smears.
You sound bitter and envious thus ready to believe any gossip.
Russel Brand and Tim Ballard. Soon Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, etc. All now enemies of the deep state.
Could it be that he was Shokined, because he was getting too close to someone of importance with his undercover work?
Take away someone's path to riches, and if they possess powers, they will not hesitate to use them against you.
I am so tired of people who make uninformed decisions made by sources of questionable integrity. Show me you have more than this that you are going by.
There are bad guys within our government, but working undercover is very dangerous work, and sometimes you may have to compromise your self to a degree that saves your life.
I think he is an honest person, but I certainly won't convict him on the basis of an article appearing in the trash hit site Vice. If he was guilty of the charge leveled against him, why was he not tried & convicted? Why was he just relieved of his position.
That alone raises serious questions for me about the validity of the claim of sexual misconduct.
There are a lot of women nowadays who have no problem making untrue allegations if it involves enough money.
Now that they got Trump on the E.Jean Carrol fiasco they are once again using this ploy to discredit anyone that is too conservative or doesn’t toe the party line. Commies got to commie.
So much new truth to believe now after the old truth shown to be lies. If I did not see it, it fid not happen. If you are victimized, kill the sob and stop complaining. No more ancient accusations. Fix the problem or drop iy....fix the problem, do the time.
hot dogs as well
Vice?
Lies.
Some freepers will believe anything. I call bs. Just another hit job on the sound of freedom
The left always tell you whom they fear the most -— Rush Limbaugh
Leftists Alinsky all the time and conservatives fall for it all the time.
RULES FOR RADICALS Saul Alinsky
1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.” It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
Provide proof or shut up. These types of accusations are becoming so common that no one believes them any more—unless they have night-vision cam footage, of course.
Of course he has to now be destroyed because the deepstate sex trafficking syndicate must be protected.
