Five women have sued Tim Ballard, whose life experiences rescuing children from sex traffickers inspired the movie “Sound of Freedom,” accusing him of sexual assault and battery. The lawsuit, filed Monday in the Third Judicial Court of Utah, comes a month after it was publicly revealed that Ballard had resigned from the nonprofit child rescue group he founded, Operation Underground Railroad, or O.U.R. Ballard was under investigation by an outside firm hired by O.U.R.
” The suit says that Ballard got “frustrated” and asked WW why she wasn’t responding to him and told her that he needed to know she was attracted to him. During a mission in Mexico, Ballard is accused of groping WW repeatedly. Each time, he insisted that they had to “remain in character” and act as if they were a “kinky couple” to make the sting seem believable, according to the suit.
