Sound of Freedom Hero Tim Ballard Accused of Sexual Misconduct Days After Announcing Possible Senate Run – LDS Church Condemns
Sound of Freedom hero Tim Ballard’s June resignation/removal from Operation Underground Railroad (OUR) was due to claims of sexual misconduct.
Ballard recently said he is considering a run for Mitt Romney’s senate seat after the Utah RINO announced his retirement.
According to VICE News, at least 7 women have accused Ballard of sexual misconduct.
Operation Underground Railroad told VICE News that Tim Ballard resigned on June 22, 2023. “He has permanently separated from O.U.R.”
According to a letter published by VICE News, an OUR employee who accompanied Ballard on an undercover operation accused him of sexual harassment.
“Several weeks ago, an OUR employee who accompanied Tim on an undercover operation filed a sexual harassment complaint against him with OUR’s HR department,” the July letter reads. “This resulted in an extensive internal investigation into Tim and his individual operational tactics and led to more women speaking up as part of the investigation process.
“It was ultimately revealed through disturbingly specific and parallel accounts, that Tim has been deceitfully and extensively grooming and manipulating multiple women for the past few years with the ultimate intent of coercing them to participate in sexual acts with him, under the premise of going where it takes and doing ‘whatever it takes’ to save a child.”
The Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints condemned Ballard.
VICE News reported:
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.
Tim Ballard recently took to social media to warn the public that “lies are coming.”
“The left has thrown everything at me,” Ballard said on social media.
Journalist Lynn Packer posted an update to the unproven claims against Ballard.

Chinese firm receives $530 million in state incentives to build EV battery plant in Illinois, sparking national security concerns
A Chinese company is set to receive more than $536 million in state incentives and tax breaks to build an electric vehicle battery plant in Illinois, WLS-TV reported this month.
Democratic Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker offered Chinese Communist Party-linked battery manufacturer Gotion hundreds of millions of dollars in incentives to build a plant in Manteno, a village just outside of Kankakee, approximately 50 miles south of Chicago.
The $2 billion project is estimated to start production in 2024 and generate 2,600 jobs. Full-time workers are expected to receive approximately $55,000 in annual salary, at least 120% of the average wage of similar jobs, the Chicago Tribune reported. The lithium-ion batteries will be used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems.
After nearly two years of negotiations with the state, Gotion has agreed to a deal to receive over $330 million in tax incentives to build the factory.
Despite the recently announced deal sparking national security concerns for many, Pritzker touted the development as "the most significant new manufacturing investment in Illinois in decades."
"Illinois is leading the charge, literally," Pritzker wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Gotion's new EV lithium battery manufacturing plant is coming to our state — the largest EV battery investment here EVER at $2 billion. It will create 2,600 good-paying jobs and help our goal of putting 1M EVs on our roads by 2030."
Manteno Mayor Tim Nugent voiced support for the new project.
"Gotion selecting Manteno to be the home of their new state-of-the-art battery facility brings the promise of a great future for the village, the county, the region and the state," Nugent said. "Today's news propels our area into the center of a new emerging technology that will benefit all who will become involved in it."
Mark Denzler, president of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association, a trade association, called it a "big win" for the governor and the state. He applauded Pritzker for making Illinois "competitive with neighboring states."
"The IMA worked with the governor and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to pass these changes in the General Assembly, and it's great to see today's announcement of significant new jobs and capital investment that are a direct result of these new laws," Denzler stated.
Illinois is already home to two EV facilities: a Rivian factory in Normal and a Lion Electric plant in Joliet. The state also aims to transform its shutdown Belvidere factory into a Stellantis EV plant. Additionally, it is pushing for Ford to convert its Torrence Avenue facility for EV production, according to Chicago Business.
Pritzker waved off concerns over Gotion's ties to the CCP. The governor's spokesperson previously stated, "Many companies with Chinese ties have manufacturing facilities in the United States and many U.S. companies have manufacturing facilities in China."
"Gotion Inc. is actually headquartered in California and is majority owned by Volkswagen. The deal is strictly business; it creates jobs and brings billions in investment to Illinois cementing our future as a leader in the EV space," the spokesperson added.
Gotion Inc.'s parent company, Gotion High-Tech, is based in Hefei, China.

Bronx daycare center where baby died from apparent felony exposure was drug front
The two were issued 11 charges on Saturday, including murder, assault, and child endangerment, for the suspected fentanyl exposure death of 1-year-old Nicholas Feliz Dominici.
The Bronx daycare where a baby died and three other young children were hospitalized from suspected fentanyl exposure was reportedly being used as a drug front, police sources revealed to the New York Post.
36-year-old Grei Mendez De Ventura, the owner of Divino Nino Daycare where the alleged exposure occurred, and Caristo Acevedo Brito, 41, were both hauled from the 52nd percent on Monday, and both appeared in Bronx Criminal Court.
Mendez was later taken to Lincoln Hospital for a medical evaluation, and was listed in stable condition. Both suspects, who face charges including murder, are awaiting arraignment.
The two were issued 11 charges on Saturday, including murder, assault, and child endangerment, for the suspected fentanyl exposure death of 1-year-old Nicholas Feliz Dominici.
A pair of two-year-old boys and one of their sisters, eight, remain hospitalized after exposure to the drug. One of the boys remains in critical condition, while the girl is in stable condition. the other boy, who was taken to Bronxcare Health Systems, is in stable condition.
Law enforcement sources told the outlet that the children were reportedly exposed to the drug when it was cut in the daycare center, and some floated into the air, allowing them to inhale it.
Police have also launched a manhunt for Ventura’s husband, who lived next door with her and is wanted in connection to the child’s death.
Police responded to the child care center after 3:30 pm to find three of the children unresponsive. Some of the children were administered Narcan, an overdose-reversing drug.
"She started saying that the kids were dying, and then I saw one of the kids laying down and he wasn't responding, and then the lady came out with the other child trying to make him respond, but he wasn't responding," stated Mel Ramirez, a witness.
Two of the children were reportedly in cardiac arrest when first responders arrived.
A search of an apartment used by the facility by police uncovered almost a kilo of fentanyl as well as a kilo press, an object often used to mix fentanyl with either cocaine or heroin, per responding officials.
