US anti-child trafficking activist resigns after sexual harassment allegations
The anti-child slavery activist Tim Ballard, whose work was dramatized in the movie Sound of Freedom, resigned from the Operation Underground Railroad (Our) organization he founded amid allegations he sexually harassed colleagues, it was reported on Monday.
Ballard, a former adviser to the Trump administration on child sexual trafficking, who is reported to be exploring a run for a US Senate seat in Utah, resigned abruptly from the group in June for then-unknown reasons.
But the online media outlet Vice reported on Monday that the ultra-conservative figure, an alleged QAnon conspiracy theorist, resigned after Our launched a sexual misconduct investigation against him involving at least seven women.

“They’re watching our every move, so we need to have sex and you need to act like you’re reeeeaaallly into it, okay? Like, lots of screaming about how big I am and how I’m amazing in bed, okay?”
"Now stick this old corn cob up my ass and pinch my nipples."
What the actual fuck
What a huge piece of shit
Note that this was the guy that the movie Sound of Freedom was about, the movie with the Qanon-adjacent message that people on the right claimed was being suppressed and was one of the most successful films ever (as they bought out entire empty theaters).
Of fricking course.
I thought the title was missing a hyphen connecting "anti-child" and "trafficking," but no, turns out dude is a trafficking activist that hates kids
True combo
Similar subplot in True Lies (1994)
