Self-Proclaimed Sex-Trafficking Champion Resigned From Own Org Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations: Report
www.mediaite.com
Tim Ballard was investigated for sexual misconduct before resigning from his non-profit Operation Underground Railroad, which works to end child sex-trafficking.

Ballard became more of a known quantity after the release of the movie Sound of Freedom, a dramatization of his mission in which he was played by actor Jim Caviezel. Critics of the film have argued that Ballard’s claims about his accomplishments have been “dramatically overstated or without clear documentary evidence.”

    Terrible rewording of the headline.

    Ballard is facing other accusations of dishonesty; he also seemingly fabricated a relationship with an elder in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, President M. Russell Ballard, which earned him a rebuke from the Church that called his behavior “morally unacceptable.” Ballard spoke to a small crowd that was caught on camera denying that the rebuke from the church never happened.

    I think this meant to say "ever happened." People are terrible at prose these days.
