Salt Lake Tribune political coverage for Utah.
The suit accuses the prominent founder of an anti-child-trafficking nonprofit of grooming behavior and sexual misconduct.
That practice allegedly would include couples massages with escorts and lap dances given to Ballard. The lawsuit alleges that Ballard would frequent Salt Lake Valley strip clubs, where he would pay for lap dances, drink alcohol and take pills, all of which was paid for with OUR funds. “Ballard began to claim that President M. Russell Ballard” — who is the acting president of the church’s Quorum of The Twelve Apostles — “had given Ballard permission to do the couples ruse, as long as there is no sexual intercourse or kissing on the lips, and had given him a special priesthood blessing as such,” the suit alleges.
Ballard would receive ketamine treatments and dictate prophesies, the lawsuit claims, where he would speak to Nephi, a prophet mentioned in the Book of Mormon, and dictate prophesies of his future as a U.S. senator, president of the United States and, ultimately, a Latter-day Saint prophet — where he could usher in the second coming of Jesus Christ.in July that his departure had been planned in advance so he could focus his energy on other endeavors.
The Tribune has reached out to a spokesman for Ballard for comment, but had not immediately heard back.
