The Salt Lake Tribune breaking news in Utah, Salt Lake City and the surrounding area.
“Mr. Ballard vehemently denies the allegations brought by these unnamed women,” an attorney for the SPEAR Fund said in a statement.
Suzette Rasmussen, the attorney for the seven plaintiffs, said she anticipates filing additional lawsuits on behalf of other alleged victims who continue to come forward. “Mr. Ballard vehemently denies the allegations brought by these unnamed women,” the statement reads. “He looks forward to vindicating his name in the courts where evidence, and not unsubstantiated accusations in the media, decides the outcome.”
As part of her supposed training and on operations, the suit alleges, Ballard convinced the woman to simulate sex with him while both were clothed, hired escorts to come to his room, hired masseuses who he encouraged to touch her sexually and convinced her to post her own photos on an escort site, supposedly to gather intel.
Wednesday’s lawsuit also alleges that Ballard would use OUR funds to drink tequila to the point he would pass out, and was the reason Ballard allegedly missed a Sept. 15 speaking engagement at the “Once Upon A Dream” charity conference in Orlando.
