Summary

67% Informative

Tim Ballard , the anti-trafficking activist whose missions abroad were the basis of the hit 2023 film Sound of Freedom, is facing a new legal action from six women who last year sued him for sexual exploitation.

The latest complaint is the first federal suit targeting Ballard .

The women claim they were coerced into “performing sex, labor, and services for [ Ballard ’s] personal benefit and the benefit of OUR”.

Ballard is accused of working with an anti-trafficking group that has since removed information on their website that described him as a senior adviser to the group.

The SPEAR Fund has in the past issued statements calling the allegations against him “false.” Supporters have also donated to his legal defense fund through a campaign on Christian crowdfunding site GiveSendGo.
