So far, reports from Vice state that after the women making these allegations filed formal complaints with OUR, Ballard left the organization.
OUR has not yet confirmed or denied these reports regarding Ballard’s alleged actions. However, the anti-human trafficking group noted in a public statement that it has zero tolerance for discrimination, sexual abuse, or sexual harassment.
OUR also stated that it’s acquired the services of an independent law firm to review and better its operations.
In addition to the reports of sexual misconduct, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints also brought surprising allegations against Ballard.
It is the LDS Church’s view that Ballard took advantage of M Russell Ballard, an elder of the church, by using his name in an unapproved manner for financial and/or personal reasons.
Ballard denies the claims
Amid these allegations, Tim Ballard has gone on record, citing his innocence. The former OUR CEO maintains the narratives about him now are “baseless inventions” designed to impugn his character.
