Women accusing OUR founder Tim Ballard of sexual assault speak out
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Speaking publicly for the first time, five women suing Operation Underground Railroad founder Tim Ballard for allegations of sexual misconduct and assault said he and the nonprofit need to be held accountable.
The women contend OUR leadership and board members knew about internal accusations of sexual assault against Ballard and did nothing to protect them or stop his alleged behavior.
Celeste Borys, who served as Ballard’s executive assistant and frequently traveled around the globe with him, and the four other women also said they had never seen a single child rescued on any OUR operations.
The women filed a lawsuit in October alleging that Ballard would in some instances fly women who would be posing as his wife or partner from across the country to Utah, because he wanted to hone their sexual chemistry for the so-called “couples ruse.”

I'm amazed how many people in the comments are defending Tim Ballard by accusing these women of lying. They seem pretty sincere to me. And note Ballard's defenders are saying EXACTLY what they need to say to discredit the accusers.
I don’t believe a single word. Of course they are after him after exposing the truth. All I can see is fake tears 🤦♀️
This you Tim?
@@julianyc422definitely not.
I agree. Every single time a movie like this comes forward there is always some women coming forward with shit that doesn't make sense.
You're either in denial bc of your own abuse or very ignorant to how predators work and what victims look and sound like.
@@ATiredMom I’ve never been abused and I am aware of predators. Those are adult women that could’ve left. Everytime a person tries to expose the ugly truth, people come forward and try to discredit.
Okay, as someone who has been abused and assaulted myself, I feel great compassion for any real victims of abuse. I know its worse that many victims aren't believed. I have education in law, criminal psychology & court room litigation. None of this makes me an expert. It's tough to know the truth, yet legally the burden of proof remains with the accusers. It will come down to what a jury believes. Here are my observations in listening to all of the claims:
1. The timing of the accusers in bringing the allegations is a huge red flag. They brought a civil suit years after the alleged incidents took place. This makes them highly suspicious, especially when it is after a box office hit & millions pour in donations.
2. These women were all adults, one married, another an ex-marine who claims to have worked human trafficking operations for over a decade. They were all more than capable to immediately remove themselves from the "most horrific events" of their lives. Nothing was stopping them from leaving at any time, or at bare minimum, not traveling to state after state & continuing to expose themselves. That was willful. No amount of brainwash would stop a married woman or an ex-marine from seeking refuge, highly unlikely.
3. The accusers mention the millions of dollars & huge donors- another red flag that one of the primary concerns is the large amount of money. Why? If this is "the most horrific event of your life" it is unlikely you would be focused on the money.
4. All of the accusers are reading from a letter. The only one who spoke freely focused primarily on her disapproval of the interview process and homed in on the physical work-place injury. None of these point to sexual assault or misconduct! Odd!
5. They expressed disappointment the organization didn't "settle privately," but go on to say how important this case is to make sure that others are victimized. Wait, what?! You want to "speak *your* truth and make sure the donors and any future victims are protected" but you're disgruntled that it wasn't settled privately. That is a direct conflict of claims and needs to be taken into account.
6. They claim "Tim was the worst perpetrator of all." Really? He's worse than the pedophile's? He's worse than the human traffickers? I don't like abusers either, but even with the worst of their claims they still haven't proven he's worse than a pedophile. The accusation makes them lose credibility.
7. Accusers further claim that no children were ever saved? Hmm, that sounds highly suspicious and politically motivated. The OUR provided real footage of at least one major bust. To claim no children were saved makes the accusers look guilty of fraud & slander.
There are so many red flags here. One of the women admits her marriage has been broken since. Thats very unfortunate, but perhaps her husband felt betrayed that she didn't come to him for help immediately and instead continued traveling state to state with the man she claims assaulted her? The husband deserved to know that immediately. She still doesn't know why she didn't go home to her husband?!
I am not a mind reader, and I certainly feel that true victims deserve to be heard and given the benefit of doubt, but also Tim is innocent until proven guilty. These claims should be made in a courtroom, NOT in the public where all of the jurors can be tainted by their unquestioned press release! I feel strongly about abusers being held accountable and exposed, but this is harder to believe than most hollywood dramas. If I was OUR's defense attorney I would have a field day with this at trial. I will be following. What do you think?
Excellent argument
I think you are spot on, it's so easy to see they are actors.
Many of my thoughts are the same.
My eyes were crossed when the wife said she didn't know why she didn't go home to her husband... once an attack occurs, I would of Never stuck around and followed the guy from state to state. You made some excellent points of this situation.
I went to the Army reserves when I was 20 years old. I went through basic training and the first phase of my AIT (school.) The second phase was done at a third location. I was training to become an operating room technician. I was sexually harassed by my NCO (officer in charge.) About the third time, I called my now husband, who was my boyfriend at the time, bawling. Telling him I couldn't do this anymore etc... I packed my stuff and snuck out that night to catch the first flight home. True, I was only 20 so maybe being younger I was more scared and able to make the call to come home. However, the fact these women continued to travel with him is a huge RED FLAG. I think you're right about all of this.
You wait until he exsposes human and child trafficking. Then come out ???
Right. The 1st accuser claims she was with him for a year, even involved in operations around the world using the couple's ruse, but never came into contact with evil?
Who was she using the ruse on?
And is that the "duper's delight"* @4:03 ? Or just impromptu duck lips while reading such a serious allegation.
*Typical flag for deception in smile/facial features.
Looks like she made more friends in these elite child trafficking investigations than she should have . I believe this will come back on them and prove to show how deep the deep state goes.
Yeah very convenient!
I can attest as a former mormon that sex abuse is rampant in that church.
They coddle men and ignore women. Get out now, you are being DECIEVED!!!
It took me 60 years to realize it bc I was indoctrinated as a child, a child who grew into a tormented alcoholic. That church hurts MORE people than it helps.
I have hundreds of true stories....I have a TESTIMONY :)
Consider who would want to slam Tim Ballard, and how much money they could easily pay "victims" to testify.
Strange how none of this was known to exist until the movie did,isn't it?
Right
lol these women are all liars, its coz the sound of freedom made millions, all fake tears lol
A charismatic serial adulterer in the Mormon church 😂 no way!! Lol
This is how allegations work. It takes time and akso when victims see their abuser going large scale they may get the push to finally Crack down so the falsehoods and the abuse and power didn't continue.
exactly
I’m all for women. As an abuse survivor, I’m sensitive to the nuances. I’m not buying it here. And I will always support women. But something stinks here.
Same here - abuse survivor.i call b.s.
I support the kids. Women can be evil as men
Why now,why after the movie,the movement...this seems like the devil's hands at work,as usual,n not saying I know,but something stinks horribly,like the old Staten Island Garbage dumps on this one...all respect Staten
I agree
Just a feeling right? A film came out so people are now after him right?
I believe he, Tim had to know that this was coming! He stirred the most vile, evil, and morally corrupted stew ever! These people exist and are powerful enough to destroy him.
Some of his film is exaggeration. He changed ages and stories. Not everything is an attack on the film. Get real.
@@KayDejaVu f’n ya mum is as real I can get!
Exactly what I replied to a brother who spoke of this allegations in fb.
They won’t destroy Tim Ballard God is on his side doing the purposeGod gave him saving kids. These woman should be ashamed but they are workers of evil trying to take down Good. Good always wins
NO ONE is bigger than God!!
Thank you for speaking out! !I believe y0u. .
I applaud your strength and speaking out !
Innocent until proven guilty. Anyone can say whatever they want but doesn't make it true...
🤡
Wow
YES, exactly!
Yes, but when a bunch of people say the same thing, attention should be paid.
Gee i wonder who paid her to read this story.
Lots of victim-blamers and shamers in this comment section (and some of the comments are quite cruel).
I find it ironic (and not at all surprising) that the same people who called critics of Tim and SoF 'pedos' and 'sex traffic supporters', are now loudly defending an accused sexual predator.
Riddle me this: Would you speak to sex-trafficked women and children this way? Would you call them liars? Say THEY should be punished? Demand they provide evidence?
Your hypocrisy is telling.
The idolatry of "people" is so disappointing. This man isn't Jesus. The best of us fall, why would he be any different. Justice is coming
100%
Right on totally agree apparently there are is a lot of hypocrisy involved in the part of supposed religious and so called moral people true and sad 😢
Tim Ballard enabled by at least:
1. Unobservant & Complicit Wife
2. Utah AG Sean Reyes
3. LDS Church & R M Ballard
4. Spinless local media adoring TB
5. NDA's
6. Threats & intimidation
7. Appeal to divine authority
8. Angels Studios
9. OUR Board
10. Glenn Beck
11. Tony Robbins
I wouldn't put the wife as number one! She was probably one of the last to face the truth. When you have nine kids seeing the truth must be.very difficult.
@@annwood6812 I agree with that, however, she did a video in the last day or two with Tim, still backing him up. You would think she would see the light by now.
Thom Harrison too. Soencer in “Visions of Glory” He kept encouraging Tim and telling him he would be Prophet & Pres of USA
@@ArmyRanger28she could still be backing him (mindfully choosing to or just subconsciously) because that is the safest thing she can do to protect herself and children. I came from a large Mormon family with a narcissist father, then married a narcissist Mormon man also and began poppin out the babies at 20 yrs old. I can understand the wife/mother saying whatever she thinks will keep the man most stable even for the day. Ya live in survival mode and that makes u do things differently than u would otherwise. Many victims have spoken up about his narcissistic tendencies, and I doubt he turns that off when with his wife and kids. It’s more likely than not that they are victims too (AND still having to deal with him).
@@annwood6812as long as the wife refuses to believe her husband is a cheat, she is complicit. Same deal when a man molest his own children and the wife refuses to believe it. She's a huge part of the problem and this issue is plagued Mormon marriages and families since it was concocted.
Tim is a target!!! He has arrested high profile people. So sad 😫😫😫
False. Don’t be misled. This is a reoccurring pattern where these monsters promote themselves as heroes while behind the scenes they’re the villains trying to mask themselves. Look at Jimmy Savile as a perfect example. A well-liked media personality. Rendered a hero for the contributions he made to help kids. Ran a school to help kids…meanwhile behind the scenes he was doing nasty things to those kids including relations with their deceased bodies. There’s many people like this. Tim is one of them.
@@jamesdoakes4956no he’s not.
@@lasvegashula of course he is. Just because you don’t want him to be doesn’t mean he’s not. You can’t just morph reality to your liking. You got duped by a bad guy who did good things. It happens all the time. It’s not our fault we got duped. But it’s definitely a problem when you’re in denial about it
@@jamesdoakes4956 and how do you know any of that
@@egemen2543he doesn’t just speaking out his ass
Prove your allegations in court. Anyone can say anything, doesn't make it true.
Hear, hear.
True but that doesn’t stop the QAnon kooks who rally around Tim Ballard.
Having a hard time believing this. Why now. After all this time Tim was traveling, saving kids.
@@H93736 How many kids has he saved?
@@EastSide-qc5oyI think the movie said over 120? There may be more tho
This has happened so many times. Any evidence? Just allegations? Her crying doesn't convince me. I am suspicious of everyone. Ten times assaulted, and stuck around.
Amen.
The best way to discredit the movie Sound of Freedom is to discredit Tim Ballard. We are at a time in our society where women are supposed to be believed and men are all predators! Even if Tim Ballard is found to be innocent of all of these charges, his reputation will forever be tarnished.
The church denounced him too, he made up alot of shit he used this to cover his own shit, pretty sick
The church is implicated in nasty stuff which gives Time even more validity.
She still doesn’t know left from right.
And funding for operations will be affected.
@@jameswest360 Not true.
Interesting how none of this came out until now (after Sound of Freedom)and Interesting how these women are reading this stuff out of pages instead of looking at the camera and talking about their allegations. The crying is so fake! I wonder how much they got paid or threatened to lend themselves to do this.
Why are these women coming forward after Sound of Freedom? You think it’s for money? Not arguing, just trying to understand your POV
@DrawWithMeASMR-LIVE Either that or they've been threatened but I'm pretty sure it is most likely that they were paid.
These allegations predate the movie 🤡
I didn't find them to be fake at all. I believe their stories.
Probably because they know that now it is more likely someone will be paying attention, and that they can find other women who had similar experiences. It's not rocket science. I'm sure you think cosby is innocent
Why do these woman sound so dishonest? It’s like there reading something that never happened?
I didn’t see any tears?
You're a female and can see and feel their words and make this opinion about their allegations. Meaning, that coming from a female's point of view and not believing what they are accusing him of works to Tim's advantage.
What?????
I found them to be very believable.
Absolutely courageous and brave. It is so very difficult to bring a massive narcissist to some form of Justice. ❤
Proud of these women.
Wait wait wait, you believe that horrible acting? Tim exposes something that is the worse thing you can do, and coincidentally these bad actors come out with these hit piece? I feel like putting 2 and 2 together on this one is a no brainer but the obvious is truly being ignored. Fuck Tim right? Saving thousands of kids from rape and torture can wait, we got more important things to do like coincidentally slander him immediately after he exposes corruption, makes sense.
Coming from a woman I appreciate you highlighting the obvious for the people in the comments. But yes HORRIBLE acting.
@@camhoward734 I am so embarrassed for you. Tim is a liar and that has been proven over and over again. He is also a sexual predator and that again has been proven over and over again. His church enounced him, he was excommunicated. You do realise he perpetuates trafficking, right? where is your proof of the thousands of kids saved? And when you say saved what do you actually mean?
@@katrynnmelville1490 "Tim is a liar and that has been proven over and over again" -- Oh yeah? Where? We just supposed to imagine that?
Or is that just the reality that you WANT to be true?
Here are just a couple of his lies:
Ballard: The boy was was kidnapped from Mexico as an infant.
FACT: The boy’s grandmother who was raising him in Banning, California, had known Earl Venton Buchanan almost his whole life- since he (Buchanan) was a child. Buchanan would often take the boy to Mexico to visit relatives, including the boy’s mother, who Buchanan was friend’s with.
This perpetuates the myth that kidnapping is major element of human trafficking. In fact, there are few cases where this has occurred. The few that do exist it wasn’t snatch and grab, it was Romeo’s wooing women into trafficking. Usually getting hooked on drugs and the promise of romance.
(see Border Patrol agents Ruiza and Apolinar’s reports, as well as the Statement of Facts and Motion to Suppress below under Earl Buchanan Case Docs)
Ballard: Earl Buchanan was kidnapping children and trafficking them.
FACT: Earl Buchanan was millionaire who started as a plumber and then went into general contracting and invested in real estate. He was known to hire much of the Hispanic population and sometimes would hire illegal immigrants. This is very much a typical pedophile grooms families and victims case.
Ballard: The boy was smuggled into the United States
FACT: Again, the boy was not from Mexico nor was he smuggled into the United States, he was an American citizen. This is a common misconception with human trafficking as they toy with the right-wing belief that to combat human trafficking you need more border security. In reality, vast majority of human trafficking, almost 99% is perpetrated by family members or close friends of the family or intimate partner of the victim.
It would be more effective to attack family values than border security and immigration. It goes to show just how disconnected people are from the subject of human trafficking in general. Including Tim Ballard.
Ballard: Earl Buchanan was taking kidnapped children to a compound in San Bernardino
FACT: Earl Buchanan had a construction compound in Banning, California, which housed equipment and vehicles. It was accessible to his workers and family, so the notion that Buchanan was taking kidnapped children to a compound to house them and film them and have “thousands of pictures everywhere” is just not sustainable or possible. Yes, Buchanan used a certain room that had a camera to film these disgusting acts against children, but the notion that pictures and chains or this was some torture-sex dungeon is simply just to play up to Evangelists and engage in right-wing fantasy, so they will shell out cash.
Ballard then goes into very specific details about his interactions with this victim of trafficking. Which is troubling, because, it simply never happened. At the same time, he makes sure a key marketing gimmick of O.U.R.’s Origin Story- the necklace. Conservative commentator Glenn Beck and Tim Ballard had debuted a replica necklace that you could buy when they first started this grift back in 2014.
Ballard: He was a 5 year-old boy. I recognized him from the video. I was like oh my gosh, I never recognized one of the kids from the video. I started to have a physiological reaction. like I don’t know if I can handle this
FACT: Ballard had no idea what was going on. He was at his office 45 minutes away. In fact, Ballard would not even receive a phone call until after Buchanan was put in custody and the boy was isolated. Which this should be the end of this report, because court records, border patrol reports and now O.U.R. claims the the depiction in the film was entirely fiction.
Except Ballard doesn’t get off that easy. Lynn Packer and I have asked Tim Ballard for years about his “Pedro necklace story” which is demonstrably false.
Ballard: The boy “inherently” knew he [Tim Ballard] was a good guy (this plays a lot into Mormon mythology) so he runs to us and jumps in our… my arms
FACT: Tim Ballard wasn’t present. He was still forty-five minutes away at his office. Ballard was a Homeland Security Investigations Agent for Homeland Security, not a Border Patrol agent.
Ballard: He’s like holding me and shaking and I’m like oh my gosh, does he speak English? Does he speak Spanish? Does he speak both? I don’t know… and he spoke perfect English which was haunting to me because the only reason he did, is because is would be, as it turn out, he was taken as an infant… and he said to me like no five year-old should ever have to say to anybody, he said, “I don’t belong here”
FACT: Again, Ballard was not present. Not only does he lie, but he injects magic and sorcery into his absurd fantasies in an effort to perpetuate that he’s possibly been anointed with divine providence or guidance. Ballard’s fantasy and plot lines are unfit for a Lifetime movie script reject pile, but he knows Christians and MAGA republicans eat this stuff up.
The notion that this five year-old boy somehow knew “he didn’t belong here” even though he was “kidnaped as an infant” according Ballard. According to court records and Border Patrol reports, the boy appeared distressed when separated from Buchanan (as I said). When the boy was interviewed by a physician, he denied that Earl Buchanan had touched his privates. He called Buchanan “his friend”.
Ballard: The thing that happened, call this love, providence or whatever,-to me it was special… is the little boy had a necklace.. that little boy that five year-old.. and his sister had given him the necklace when they were separated by Buchanan and it was a little dog tag and he gave it to me and I had to go find his sister now. So we did, we got her out (Ballard confirms to Lewis Howe). But he gave me the necklace.
FACT: Once again, Ballard was not present when the boy was removed from the van and Earl Buchanan was placed in custody. Ballard was called to obtain and preserve evidence. He then would interview Buchanan as a means to verify chain of custody and to obtain any type of confession to support it.
The boy’s sister, Yanelli was never kidnapped or separated from her brother. Yanelli’s presence is well documented in this case. Court records and interviews demonstrate that Buchanan often stayed at the boy’s house.
There was no necklace.
Ballard: I tried to give it{ back to him and he said no it’s yours it yours. This is when he’s hugging me, and I’m like okay so I put it in my pocket thinking nothing of it but later one of my children found it and said “where did you get this?” … I’m like uhhhh how do I tell this story to my kid, I tell my kid what I can. and he said, “isn’t it cool he put your name on the necklace dad?” I said what are you talking about my names not on the necklace!”… I flip it around and it had a little scripture from the bible on it. From the book of 1 Timothy So that was like I was gonna do am I gonna quit or am I gonna go full in? But that little boy whether he knows it or not just gave me a commission and that necklace I wore it for every operation I went on. It was like my symbol, I’m in now
FACT: The necklace is simply a marketing gimmick. Again, O.U.R. has said, the story Tim told is simply not true. Border Patrol agents did their job. This really is the end of the story. It wasn’t even Ballard’s arrest.
I’m a survivor of sexual assault, this term is very important legally. My abuser had a professional and legal responsibility to protect me, colleagues don’t meet that criteria so what are these women actually claiming? I can’t imagine the price people pay to go undercover with the scum of the earth in order to rescue trafficked children, but I’m grateful to those who try. Does anyone doubt the need to make these bad people believe you’re one of them to infiltrate and ultimately end their organization? Are these women claiming that OUR isn’t actually in the business of rescuing children but rather a ruse for one man to abuse women? I have no personal or professional connection to anyone involved, yet I see holes in their stories. First, the absence of the term “Rape”. This is extremely significant and it’s obvious these women chose their words wisely. Second, the woman and former marine stated she was physically injured in a training accident. That seemed to be her chief complaint. Did she file for and receive workmen’s compensation and is she claiming Tim Ballard was responsible for the accident? Were training accidents common? None of the other women mentioned any. Third, their biggest harm appears to be a result of being put in extremely dangerous and sexually charged situations. That couldn’t have been a surprise, especially since Tim Ballard apparently was very open about this during their interviews. I don’t believe Tim Ballard is a perfect person. I don’t think anyone could do this work without suffering mental and emotional trauma. I don’t claim to know anything for sure, but if I wanted to stop someone from shedding light on my multibillion dollar criminal enterprise this is how I’d do it.
The Salt Lake Tribune posted an article on October 10th “Read the lawsuit 5 women filed against Tim Ballard”. There is also a second lawsuit, posted October 11th by KUTV, titled, “Second lawsuit filed by married couple against Tim Ballard alleges sexual assault, financial misconduct”. Both contain the affidavits of all complainants in full.
Also, you’re not asking the right questions:
1. Why did Tim Ballard need a ‘couples ruse’?
2. Why would he single out naive women with no undercover training (as a civilian working for a police agency, I would NEVER be asked to take part in something like this…it would be reckless, irresponsible and a potential liability to the organization)?
3. How many children did they actually save? Where are they now? Why have none of them come forward to tell their stories? In an interview with Fox, Tim said many of them were adults now and he was good friends with them. He said they would be coming out to tell their stories soon and it would be ‘awkward’ for mainstream media who were questioning his (and OUR’s) intentions. That was FOUR MONTHS AGO. Where are they?
4. Why has everybody in his inner circle (the LDS church, Glenn Beck, Tony Robbins, Jim Caveziel, Marisol Nichols, etc) either distanced themselves from Tim? Why have his books been pulled from Deseret Books?
If I didn't have to get ready for work, I could keep going with the questions you SHOULD be asking.
@@echomikekilo63 Answer to #3: From reported info I've read in the now 3 filed lawsuits and news journo investigations, it's been difficult to confirm any children have been saved and that Sound of Freedom is said to be fictionalized from stories he gathered and took from other legit anti-trafficking groups (he never really had credentials to do them) and; that Tim really only did 1 rescue that didn't go well besides the Mardy Gardy failure. Could be why none will step forward. He's showing himself as a talker not a doer. Hence, his recently launched FREEDOM protein shake powders 😢
@@echomikekilo63 "You're not asking the right questions because they poke holes in the story! Ask these pointed questions intended for character assassination!" - spoken like a prosecution lawyer.
1. To sell the grift to the traffickers. An undercover agent is more believable with a female partner, for the exact reason you are believing these women's statements.
2. You ASSUME naivete on the part of the women. They were hired for their ability to act, and convince random men the authenticity of their story - clearly Ballard picked women who were skilled, considering they are so effective you're willing to dismiss any and all skepticism and immediately condemn. We can only hope all human traffickers can be convinced as easily. You might not have done that in a law enforcement agency, and that is literally THE reason OUR exists. To get the traffickers that law enforcement can't get to.
3. There is quite a bit of released footage from the trafficking busts. There are many news stories across a variety of countries. The rescue in Cartagena, Colombia, portrayed in the movie was widely reported. OUR also participated in Operation Vesta. Furthermore it isn't even the only rescue operation that Ballard has run. The Nazarene fund rescued people from Afghanistan during the withdrawal. If you honestly think that an organization with dozens of employees, interacting with dozens of law enforcement agencies across the world, for a decade, was just a front so that one guy could trick his way into the pants of some women... I think you need to cognition recalibrated a bit.
4. False accusations destroy reputations. Part of that process is partners, acquaintances, friends, and even family distancing themselves from the accused. Maybe some of them are waiting for proof to come out before making statements of condemnation and conviction like you are.
Perhaps we should also ask why these women are only filing civil cases? And ask why only the most recent charge, made this month, is being investigated (as it should be) -- while other accusations against Ballard and OUR have been investigated and subsequently dismissed without charges?
@@DaveMastor 🙄
It's very clear you haven't read the plaintiffs' statements.
I don't believe a word of what their saying, they should be ashamed, wonder how much they've been paid
Paid?? Like how men who pay tithes are forgiven for molesting kids
Follow the money. The 1% elites who benefit from the global sex trafficking ring have endless money to throw around.
Wow. Glad to hear from someone who was in those rooms with the women a Tim and just knows 100% what happened. Even willing to shame potential assault victims for it.
Until I see any REAL HARDCORE evidence from these alleged "victims" proving they were in any way sexually assaulted by Tim Ballard they are just that: an alleged "victim" with their own "testimony"
🤡
This just doesn’t feel right. I don’t think all that is said here is true. It’s strange about the timing. It feels like the cabal is getting these women to say this all at the same time.
How so? Why would the cabal care about some random women from the U.S.?
“Cabal” LOL. QAnon isn’t real. Trafficking occurs, but not in the fantasy version you apparently have in your imagination.
The church also denouced him they found out alot about the guy.
What “timing” exactly?? These allegations came out YEARS before the movie did 🤦♂️
jameswest360 If MORMONS don’t want him, you know there’s an issue 🤷♂️
I think she unwittingly just explained the whole religion. Working tirelessly day and night trying to do good, trying to save everyone, always under spiritual attack....... Not knowing you're being manipulated and brainwashed and used the whole time.
Sounds like Mormonism all right
Exactly.
False prophets followed by sheep.
This is so very disappointing. He has used his power and influence to hurt others in the worst way. He needs to be accountable for what he has done.
Play it out in court. Alot of people can be deceptive for many reasons. No man, or woman should be convicted by words. I saw a report that claims lap dances, showers and sexual assault. I dont even know who Tim Ballard is or who these women are but I won't believe someone just becasue they are a woman. My own brother at 43 STILL HAS to file as a sex offender bc when he was 18 he dated my 16y/o friend. She got mad when he broke up with her, this was in the yr 2000. His lawyer advised him to take a plea cuz if she sheds one tear, a jury could believe her. Took a plea for CSC 4th degree (unwanted sexual touching) ti guarantee no jail time. My brother wouldnt hurt a fly. Not accusing anyone of lying but this, just like all other crimes, should be proven. Theres alot of reasons people may lie.
Exactly, people get accused falsely. O Lord, Tim Ballard has been rescuing children so anything to bring him down with his movie. Only God knows the truth. It happened with Brett Kavanaugh - during his Supreme Court momination so I don't believe these women. America is a rotten nation with such gabbage. O God, save us from lies. To be honest, I am not an American but watch from afar. Liars with crocodile tears and sniffles.
I'm sick of the war on our men and boys. My son had a girl he went to school with LIE and sat he assaulted her. I hired an attorney and she was given a cease and dessist letter. She admitted she lied, my son was devastated by this lie. I don't trust these women at all!
M'kay. You have a pre-existing bias against any accusers of sexual assault AND you know nothing of the case. Gotcha.
Yes it needs to be played out in court! I'm not convinced....
Something else to consider: When you realize who Tim Ballard was going after - people that even the FBI will not prosecute - remember that we have Ghislaine Maxwell's client list, yet no arrests are being made. Anyone with their head on straight today knows what level of people the pedophiles are. They're in our government, especially at the highest levels.
It would be far more surprising to me if no one was trying to slander Tim Ballard...think about it. What would some of the wealthiest people in the world do to silence, scandalize, and malign a guy who goes after their kind?
The first woman seemed a bit inconsistent to me. If she comes unglued just reading a statement, how does she hold up under the conditions of working for Ballard? And she worked tirelessly, night & day? Didn't sleep? When was there time for harassment? OK, a bit of exaggeration, but why even mention that? What does it have to do with being assaulted? That aside, my bet would still go to the more obvious likelihood that people with lots of money need this guy trashed, and can afford any price and set up to do it.
I'm truly blown away by this. I really thought TB was a genuine man who loved his beautiful family and would do anything to save trafficked children, whether it is boys or girls & women. The deception is hard to stomach. Does this mean that Operation Toussaint was a lie? Does this mean The Sound of Freedom was also a lie? I've been following this story for a while and waiting to actually hear from the victims. Now it's real. These woman are absolute victims.
It seems that TB has bamboozled not only a huge amount of people like me but also some very high profile people like Glenn Beck & Tony Robbins. What a sad state of affairs.
May I gently say that it would be good to consider that the other 'leaders' are con artists too?
Beck.
Robbins.
Etc
Birds of a feather....
Some people were talking about it but they were called pedos and other awful names. Sometimes if there is smoke out there you need to look for the fire and not wave it away.
Well, the people who made The Sound of Freedom admit it was “based” on true stories and if you go read the court documents about the true stories in the movie you see a completely different picture, particularly how much if at all TB and OUR were involved.
Also, when you said, “Now it’s real.” I know this probably isn’t what you’re consciously thinking but remember it was always real, you just didn’t know it. Things can be real outside our purview.

Exactly. I can see having bullet points but these girls are straight up reading. If this happened they would
Face the cameras and remember easily.
I agree about she was just given a piece of paper to read. If it was so traumatizing to her and the others, they wouldn't have to read no paper at all. To me it's just a bunch of allegations and lies because Tim Ballard is a man of God and a father to his children and a husband to his wife.
1st: The former marine didn't read from anything.
2nd: When you aren't a hardened operator, like a marine, most people are unable to deliver a monologue in an important, high-consequence situation, off the cuff. Think about it,; have you ever watched a Senate hearing? Every guest starts with reading a written statement that they prepared ahead of time. This helps ensure they do not misspeak and that they cover all of the intended parts and statements for their testimony.
I think you understand this. I think you, @user-is3tx9eo6c (if that is even your real name 🤔...TIM!), you just want to stir up conspiracy and doubt in the accusations, without any real cause to do so.
and be pissed off about it. They seem too nervous, like they are "lying" for $$$$. The demons who traffick children and run adrenochrome $$$$ lab$ spend all their energy covering up their crimes. They got the bribe $$$$$
ALL victims sharing their testimony write out their statements ahead - because of the emotional impact of needing to share such humiliating information in public. You should be able to figure that out.
I wonder if all the Tim defenders will stop saying “until these women come forth publicly I’ll never believe the accusations”. They’ll have a new excuse not to believe these women.
I just hope they're willing to listen.
I completely believed Tim and when all this first came out I had no reason not to believe him. The claims were presented more as rumors without any concrete evidence. I always said however that if real evidence was presented I would believe. And now that documents, these interviews, and other evidence is being made public, I do believe it. It is so sad because the idea of Tim was so good. He represented such goodness. It's sad it wasn't the truth
They will most likely move the goal posts.

The board had plenty of chances to settle these issues privately. The Board is disappointed this has gone public. Boo hoo for them. I'm even more appalled by the board of OUR than I am by TB. They couldn't see past the money and the fame.
The LDS church are even more disappointed that this has gone public!
@@delphoeneevenhuis5199 I agree. The LDS church fully supported this vile organisation and Tim Ballard. They gave details of wealthy tithe givers to OAR so that it could target them to become donors.

Did he actually rescue any kids? Where are they? Why have none of them come forward to share their stories and endorse Tim's work?

@@camhoward734 I am not in a cult nor a conspiracy theorist so I am free to evaluate presented evidence without bias and employ critical thinking. These women are not the only ones speaking out.

If you refuse to see what is there, you are part of the cult. QAnon much?
She’s obviously lying, why she’s testifying against him as soon as sound of freedom became popular? Why didn’t she speak out before?
@@MasterChief-xs9yg They explained that in their statements. Also, as a person that has known 3 women over my life that has opened up to a history of sexual abuse, only one of them came forward due to the embarrassment and stigma associated. One of them is an extended family member. It is not easy, especially since some of these women are married. Imagine the embarrassment of being duped. By the way, it is not just women sharing their stories. A man who participated in the OUR operations recently discussed his unease based on what he was seeing and extracted himself from the OUR operations. Even Glenn Beck who helped fund the start of OUR said he was duped. There is quite a lengthy expose on his investigation on the Blaze. Then there is the financial aspect of it. Money, sex, and power. Three drivers that tend to be the source of people's downfall.
@@robertspence7766 lol your source is literally from the blaze which is a liberal corporate media source that obviously wants to discredit Ballard and OUR dot rescuing children. You are literally using a corporate media source which is funded by political elite who probably participate human trafficking as a source to discredit Tim Ballard lol… also that’s crap. She had all this time to accuse him when he was head of our but she waited until sound of freedom to be released to drop this accusation? So when sound of freedom gets popular and the media starts to demonize Tim for speaking out against human trafficking, push for laws that will damage human trafficking, and rescue literal children from child trafficking rings, then she drops this accusation? Obviously a soros funded liar… and you’re drinking the kool aid like a moronic sheep. Also Glenn beck works for Fox News, he’s no different then the rest of the corporate media hacks who are own by political elites and hedge fund corporations like black rock…

@@DaveMastoragreed. he deserves capital punishment without due process.
I hate this because people will look at sex trafficking like it isn't really a big deal or not really happening but it is. We still need to do something. It really does happen.
It shouldnt,I mean I dont,I realize it's bigger than we can imagine and I'm glad the truth came to light,Ive been praying it will.😊God Bless
It VERY rarely happens the way OUR depicts. The industry is not supplied through stranger-abductions. Rather, vulnerable, poorly supervised minors are groomed and exploited, most often in their own home town. The most at-risk children are either those with parents caught up in addiction or LGBTQ youth shunned by their families. It is boring old investigative work, not military cosplay in foreign lands - particularly when the only "Intel" used to direct raids came from a PSYCHIC - that addresses the proliferation of ST.

It is perfectly OK to help a victim prepare a statement to follow.
But, usually the victim will, at some point wander, adding more details. Preparing them for that is normal too
What is not normal is that all of these apparently high functioning victims did not stray from the prepared statement. Not even once.
But also… it is clear this was edited Why is there no link to the unedited version?
I am struggling to understand what happened to them? Only one person actually gave a brief overview of what happened and it sounded more like a work place safety organizational problem that yes is absolutely terrible and needs to be fixed, but Tim wasn’t the one who gave her the injury.
The first woman ended her statement insinuating that Tim created the company to prey on the women who work there - it’s just far to elaborate.
And my last point I struggle with is how they all discussed their shame for coming forward and how embarrassing it was, but it was important for “their truth” to be heard and at the end of the day they’re warriors for doing this… and that they all had the same thought process at the same time to go public
Now that’s not to say they aren’t telling the truth but for me that’s no where near enough evidence to just destroy a man’s life completely and stain his reputation forever.
If they’re going to televise snippets like this, the entire thing should be so we the general population it is misleading to only show or discuss just one side of the story
Good point, seams like they are struggling to read "their thruth".
Simple go do actual research. I used my critical thinking skills it's easy. One thing I did is watched 3 different practciing lawyers read all the court public available records what happened for one that's a start. It's just ignorance many ppl love this predator and just listen to others that do calling these women. I'm disgusted by the active men being so ignorant. Remember you don't hear about csa or adult sa or abuse because the secret bishop line to the lawyers tell them secret then the pedos keep abusing others becase of this. This is a lived experiencee. PLEASE learn the facts not just Tim the predator. He lied exx communicated stole money and abused women and men
100% agree!!
He has been implicated before any of these women stepped forward. Where there's smoke...
I thought the same thing, there are no specifics. Tim is exposing a great evil, he will be targeted.
I believe you. Thank you for your bravery and honestly. You are saving many more women from this abuser.
OUR has been around for a while now...why is this just coming out and show the damn proof!???
They wanted to keep it a private matter...probably didn't want the embarrassment and humiliation of going public, until now when it's necessary. Didn't you listen to their testimonies?
No, Tim was just announcing he was going to run for a Senate seat that Mitt Romney s Son wanted to run for. So destroy Tim Ballard and now OUR!!! 2 pluses. One for the Romney's and two for the child predators.
Sexual harassment and abuse can go on along time before it is exposed!!!
Wisdom of Solomon, two sides to a story. I make no judgment about these women nor TB, and it is not wise to believe or make judgment on one story before hearing both sides. Sometimes lies can sound so believable.
We must learn to remove emotions out of things to see clearly. Just as Solomon heard both women and it was revealed in the end whose child it was (1 Kings 3:16-28)
Wisdom must be used to discern truth from lies. 🙏🏽

I'm certainly not going to defend Tim as I don't know anything about him or any of these events, but from what I've heard Tim was removed after this behavior came to light. They provide zero details that prove OUR was aware of or a knowing participant in the actions of Tim. They name zero names of anyone that "allegedly" knew of Tim's acts. If' it exists why isn't that info provided. The only name mentioned is Tim's... the guy who got fired. Wouldn't there real beef be with the people that "knew and did nothing"? Who are those people and why are their name omitted? This to me is an important detail that is barely mentioned and seemingly glossed over each time that it is. Seems to me they don't know of anyone... So, with Tim being removed, I do find it odd that these women are seeking to take money away from an organization that was founded and appears to have done good work. I don't blame them for being pissed off, if the allegations are true. It is curious though that "someone has to pay" and clearly the only one with the "ability" to pay any real money is the very organization that fired Tim for what he did. It seems they aren't as dedicated to stopping the evil of child trafficking as they'd like everyone to believe. This is a sad story all the way around.

None of them are alleging that. One is an injury sustained during a self-defense class, and several of the others are alleging "groping" aka contact, with neck, and leg, and/or inappropriate non-contact behavior. These are civil cases so far, not criminal.

@@ca8944 The big one is that he sent one of the women a photo of himself in underwear, showing off his full body fake tattoos for one of the operations. The photo was released; and (*in my opinion) it's not really a sexual photo. There's not really another way to show tattoos on legs and body at the same time - but I can also see why it would be inappropriate under more conventional circumstances. The main thing the photo indicates is that there is unlikely to be more explicit photos, as they likely would've released those for greater effect.
In any case, I want to be clear that's not all of the accusations, but those are the ones most of the media seems to be running with.

Before people start convicting Tim let's see where this goes in court . Here is his response through his lawyers. The statement from California-based attorneys Whitney Z. Bernstein, Alexis Paschedag Federico, and Thomas H. Bienert, Jr. of Bienert Katzman Littrell Williams LLP said:
"We are counsel for Tim Ballard and look forward to fighting these claims and revealing all of their inaccuracies. We note that none of these suits have been served on Tim, and instead seem intended as a vehicle to wrongly attack him as opposed to properly initiating legal proceedings. The Ballards will not let what they view as politically charged false claims deter them from continuing their mission of saving children from the scourge of trafficking. We very much look forward to litigation on the merits of these accusations in the courtroom."
Have you actually read and studied the court papers available to public? And he's already got a charge against him? They don't do that for fun. Are you saying this out of thin air because you like him or have you actually taken the time to read learn and listen to these woman? He was FIRED because they found him guilty and your not goin to hear much about case because it can take years to finish up a invetigation. He's a predator and trafficker it's been proven. He paid and bought women, he's a trafficker and evil. He's using the ones he's lying about saving. I don't get some of these awful mens thoughts basically ok him. THe PROOF is already there and more is going to come out.
Hey, wow! Imagine that! Due process, investigation, cross examination, and a trial!
Perhaps people should wait for all of those things, including a conviction before condemning Ballard... especially considering false accusations were previously leveled against him, which resulted in an investigation and no charges.
Don't forget, so far these are civil lawsuits, not criminal ones, and civil lawsuits have a much lower bar than criminal ones.

Wow! If their lying, it will be exposed! I hope the lies they are telling is worth the cost.
I am in awe of their courage.
Cowardly Tim Ballard, The Great Pretender, will never rise above the level of cosplay.
These women are the real deal.
I think you're wrong. Just give it some time and watch what The Almighty God does.
@@klclose1 And what will that be?
I don't think God cares one way or the other.
This is clear you can’t see through the rouse that’s being pushed here. Everything here is a red flag and you’ve just proven your gullible as innocent till proven guilty is what’s important they’ve been seeking money. Their claims are suspicious and they are overshadowing the film to discredit the legacy of our. They said that no kids have been saved which is false as we’ve seen the real life raids that rescued kids he organised so they are already very suspicious in that statement
Ladies, the courage and strength you showed today will not go unnoticed. There are many standing behind you.
and many not
I believe these courageous survivors. Thank you for your voices of truth.
I pray that he will finally come clean and admit to his sickness and abuse.
Assuming guilt? I guess due process means nothing to you.
@@DaveMastor I know! It's a modern day lynching.
That's an act....she is using to many signs together.. her face and voice don't show real emotions 👁️
"Can I have one of those please??" "My body was reacting without my mind fully understanding why preventing me from functioning at my normal causing me to lose clients and a job..." Are you effing KIDDING ME!?
TO be fair, a couple's ruse is not necessary... it's even more unnecessary to GO WITH IT! If you are that naive as an adult... my God. If he did anything, these women are far more guilty.
🤡
You can clearly see the body language on some of these women and it look alike they’re uncomfortable. Coached even
Big facts
They are shaking their head no when they are reading their script
🤡

I believe every word these women have said. I have a close friend who's husband, a senior detective, works in this field in my country. I can't say much but that Tim Ballard and OUR were not involved in saving children or catching traffickers. Instead, they were bandits putting other rescue operations in danger.
Liar. 😂 How convenient that you can lob accusations that run contrary to all evidence and testimony of dozens of other military professionals, dozens of rescued individuals, and many other high profile individuals, but "you can't say more" to actually back up your claim.
@@DaveMastor Name one.
@@DaveMastor not true. There is no evidence, where are the rescued kids? it was all false and you were taken in.
I agree!
Bandits huh? I am seriously wondering if OUR trafficked children into Katherine Ballard’s “adoption agency” and sold them to Mormon families (probably pedophiles)
Exceptional courage and intent. Wishing you all well and in the eyes of millions of us, even though you may feel humiliated, we are so proud of each of you making the outstanding decision to step forward.
So proud of these women for speaking out. That takes so much courage but hopefully it will prevent this abuse from continuing.
It is interesting that women waited until he has money from a movie and podcast to bring accusations like this. He needs to be very upfront about any inappropriate behavior as a married man in order to be believable. I think their desire for money triggered them. I am a pretty good judge of character, and Tim doesn't give me that creep vibe. I worked in a prison, and recognize them fairly easily. The host of the Today show that left after accusations always gave me that vibe.
Apparently your not a very good judge of character.
Really? I immediately got a creep vibe from Tim Ballard. Everything I’ve learned about him since has confirmed that vibe.
I hear you! All about the $$$
Women do not lie about this, especially for money! Do you know how much courage, faith, strength it takes a women to come forward to a powerful man and organization, and church who covered up. Stop insulting women! Tim is a good actor! It’s happens alot when some predator gets name in press, gets known, then this dark stuff comes out!
I bet they're being paid off! I don't trust them
IF YOU COME FOR THEM, THEY WILL COME FOR YOU. 🤐
The AG should resign today
Trumps DHS needs to be looked at
I wonder how much they are being paid to say this!?
I get that feeling so strongly not just from the women...but from a lot of the people commenting. There is just something very off about a lot of the comments.
check the women's bank accounts .. lie detectors all around. it seems a deliberate destruction call long after these events cause questions to get to the truth. its suspicious. these women seem to want to destroy child trafficking awareness vs a personal beef with Tim Ballard. throwing this into public Square for emotional backing .. caution to find clarity
Hollywood sent them an ACH. Check their bank accounts. Mainstream media at it again.
Has anything been proven so far?? If it's true, it's horrible, but I think everyone has the right to defend themselves. Innocent until proven guilty! Imagine this was your father, brother, husband, son. Wouldn't you wish for a fair treatment or trial?
Glad to see more money being wasted through pathetic and pithy law suits. What a joke man.
So did these women cry so hard days before that they ran out of tears?? As shaky as all of their voices were, they should have all been balling. I don't believe a single word any of them said. And from what I witnessed, only one woman took a tissue to blot one eye. From my experience, real pain comes with real tears.
This appears to be a deterrence from the real victims of child trafficking. This is the real EVIL in our world.
But there was no tear😢…they need better ACTRESSES
@@suzh4187 Working in film myself, I almost went there with the Actress thing in my comment.
Incredible courage on display here.
@floodlitorg I agree wholeheartedly. These women are strong and courageous!
Thank you @floodlitorg for the work you are doing as well.
Incredible courage to make such fools of themselves! These women are obvious liars. And very bad actors. How much are you silly commenters being paid to say stupid stuff?
incredible lies and deception. Political theater. Paid actors. Unfortunately most don't have the gift of discernment and are not in tune with other's emotions. These people are disingenuous. Not one real emotion coming from them.
I don't believe this. Define sexual abuse? LOOKING AT YOU? A hug? Funny how this comes out to SMEAR THE MOVIE OF SOUND OF FREEDOM.
Do a little research, and you'll be amazed!
Of course you don’t believe them. It’s not about smearing the movie.. did you not know that Tim Ballard was connected to the Hillary Clinton Foundation? There’s a lot of information online if you look for it.
WHERRREEEESSSS THE EVIDENCE 🤌🏾
3 rd lady - if ot was onvious that you could be manopulated why then did you allow yourself to be manipulated?
Not buying it. These women are being dishonest.
Are the demons going against child trafficked kids that are being saved?
Where are these supposedly saved kids now?
All that were involved should be held accountable. Also, those who endorsed the organisation, including those who are high up in the Mormon leadership.
We support Tim Ballard.
Such lies. They are all going after him, and lying. They're being paid. It's not true at all. These women are liars and pretentious actors. Crocodile tears.
Tim Ballard was the only evil in the testimony of the first woman? What about the actual kid traffickers and what happened to the children?
WHO IS PAYING YOU ALL FOR THIS??????? THIS MAKES ME SO SICK THE...SHAME ON YOU AND VERY POOR ACTING!!!
Be careful who you choose as your heros.
Obviously someone for whom money is no object
Oh shit the fake acting and crying and shaking is cracking me up😂
Very bad acting indeed! No Oscar for you!! 😂😂
Courageous Woman!!! Good for you & good for the TRUTH! Much Love and Strength coming your way. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Stand strong Tim. God has your back. Woe to your accusers.
Woe to him if he is a trash bag who really did this. Don’t be so quick to dismiss this.
Nah. I dont believe it. Someone doesn't like what he is doing. So the play book of S.A.
