https://www.fox13now.com/news/fox-13-in ... aise-moneySuzanne Whitehead is one of the nine plaintiffs who have filed lawsuits against Tim Ballard and the nonprofit he founded, Operation Underground Railroad.
She says she has proof — audio recordings — showing OUR lied to the public about saving children.
Her civil suit was the fourth case to be filed against Ballard and OUR. It is the only case not focused on Ballard's alleged sexual misconduct, instead accusing OUR and its representatives of trying to silence her when she voiced concerns about the organization on social media.
Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes was also named as a defendant, but Whitehead agreed to drop the case against him after Reyes met with her to personally apologize and promise to not seek re-election.

Another lawsuit filed against Ballard.
Also filed against OUR and Angle Studios (maker of Sound of Freedom).
The plaintiff is a woman who Ballard claimed was a trafficker and she ended up in prison in Colombia for 18 months. The AG of Utah makes an appearance as a "body guard" on a "rescue mission." Clear info with lots of screen shots of pretty damning texts. Ballard needs to be put under the jail. I wish they'd pull that stupid lying movie off streaming.

Tim Ballard finally made it to Cults To Consciousness.
Edit: I forgot to mention. Sean Reyes gets an honorable mention. Fun stuff. Well, fun with the exception that they actually harmed real people. Real living people. While creating a fiction that Tim Ballard was involved in "saving children from sex trafficking"

Isn't Sean Reyes the AG of Utah? He somehow was in cahoots with Ballard. I don't remember the exact context.

Hidden True Crime has done a couple of episodes about Ballard and his fake "saving children" organization.
Keep in mind that he rubs elbows with the Dotard, he was named as some kind of special envoy for saving children. The old bag of pus is really impressed with Ballard. Dr John has Tim's number.

Edit: I should say that most of the people who really follow this are having no problem at all believing the American women victims mainly because such a large number of the men who used to be involved with Ballard believe them, they know them personally. The allegations are very specific, these are the victims of the "couples ruse" that Ballard made up in order to have sex with these women that thought they were helping to save children. These are all people who used to go on "operations" with Ballard. And most of them became very disillusioned and confused about what they really were involved in. They never could get answers for whatever happened to the kids from that operation we did last week. And Ballard would wave it off and with some nonsensical answer. Most of them figured out it was all just cosplay. And when the women came forward that is when Ballard was forced out of O.U.R.

Judge dismisses 'emotional distress' lawsuit against Tim Ballard and Operation Underground Railroad
Adam Herbets
Posted 5:32 AM, Sep 04, 2024 and last updated 6:01 AM, Sep 04, 2024
SALT LAKE CITY — One of the lawsuits against Tim Ballard and the nonprofit he founded has been dismissed.
FOX 13 News interviewed plaintiff Suzanne Whitehead earlier this year.
She has been working with human trafficking victims on and off for 14 years.
Whitehead filed her lawsuit against Operation Underground Railroad (OUR) last November, accusing the group of inflicting “emotional distress.”
She says it started when she criticized the organization, arguing that OUR operators are creating additional demand for human trafficking in the countries they visit.

This doesn't surprise me. Ballard is besties with Donald Trump and Sean Reyes. There is no way he, or the organization, will ever be held to account for Ballard's behavior.
It's amazing to me how many of the men who were so gung ho to play white hat saving children in a foreign country came away from that experience believing it was all just cosplay. Also, Ballard mooched millions of dollars from the Mormon community, every one of whom, I'm sure, believed they were donating to an organization that was saving children. Many organizations that actually have a long history of doing actual good agreed with this woman, that Ballard was often creating the very thing he supposedly was fighting against. He took all that money and would go into some poor village, find a bunch of older teenagers, pull the money out and ask them if they knew of anyone who was selling children for sex. Often those same teenagers would bring their girlfriends, having talked them into harmless sex with American men to make some quick money. These were not children who had been trafficked, these were 18 and 19 year old people snickering about how easy it would be to part these Americans with their money. These "sting" operations Ballard did never panned out to actually nab anyone who had been involved in trafficking children.
He also did operations in what many of the participants would later say were simply brothels with adult women who were going home to their husbands and children after their night of prostitution.
But yeah, the hype about O.U.R. saving children and the involvement of Sean Reyes and the involvement of respected leaders of the Mormon Church will likely shield Ballard from any kind of accountability. Reyes is known to have participated in at least one "operation". I don't think any of the Mormon leaders really knew that it was all a farce, I think they probably believed O.U.R was a valid anti sex trafficking organization.

Tim Ballard - Disgusting
Hidden True Crime's latest podcast features discussion of the book Visions of Glory and how that book inspired Tim Ballard and also played a part in Chad and Lori Daybell and Jodi Hildebrandt and Ruby Franke's descent into dark religious zealotry.
Ryan Fisher is her guest for thsi episode. Ryan became involved with O.U.R and became a close confidant of Ballard. He is one of many people who got involved with Tim Ballard and O.U.R and became disillusioned over time as the gaps between the hype regarding Ballard/O.U.R and the realities of Ballard/O.U.R grew deeper and deeper. Many of those, men and women both, have come forward with their stories of what they personally witnessed as far as O.U.R operations and Tim Ballard's behavior in foreign countries.
This episode focuses on the book Visions of Glory, the author of the book, Mormon prepperism, and how this book inspired Ballard's activities with O.U.R. Fisher was a confidant of Ballard's and was privy to the inner workings of O.U.R, the involvement of Elder Ballard and other high powered members of the Mormon Church. I had not known that the author of Visions of Glory was also on the payroll of O.U.R. as some kind of advisor, but I had known that O.U.R was set up right from the start as a vehicle to get Tim Ballard's name out there as a real life American hero. Tim didn't become a hero because O.U.R "saved kids". O.U.R was an organization that was created specificially as a vehicle to spring Tim Ballard onto the scene with a hero story.
