Tim Ballard, the former federal agent who founded Operation Underground Railroad (OUR) and inspired the movie "Sound of Freedom," has been accused of sexual misconduct involving seven women. Reports surfaced that Ballard left OUR earlier this year after an investigation into accusations of sexual misconduct against him. The allegations include inappropriately using the name of a church elder, President M. Russell Ballard, and sending one woman an underwear-clad photo of himself and asking her to send him a photo in return. Ballard has denied the allegations and stated that his critics are out to "destroy" him.
