A lawsuit was filed against Tim Ballard and Operation Underground Railroad employees by several women, alleging sexual exploitation and abuse.
According to the lawsuit filed in civil court, the complaint, filed in the Third Judicial District Court of Salt Lake County, accused the defendants of engaging in "outrageous behaviors" and causing "severe emotional distress" to the women. The lawsuit seeks damages and aimed to hold Ballard and multiple other employees responsible for their actions.
The program reportedly was meant to protect victims from potential harm. It was alleged that Ballard used this tool to engage in inappropriate behavior with the women involved in the missions. The lawsuit also alleges that the group's rescue missions were essentially "experience vacations" for wealthy men who participated. It contends that the women flew first class, stayed at 5-star hotels, and visited strip clubs and massage parlors worldwide — all expenses covered by the group.
Following the accusations, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a strong rebuke of Ballard. Church officials refuted claims of any kind of partnership between the two Ballards. They said the two men had formed a friendship based on a shared interest of protecting children, but Elder Ballard cut ties when that friendship was “betrayed.”
