SALT LAKE COUNTY — Five women have filed a lawsuit against Tim Ballard, the Operation Underground Railroad organization and its executives, claiming sexual assault, battery and fraud.
In the lawsuit, the women say Ballard would use the"Couples Ruse" as a tool to prevent detection by pedophiles during an operation. During the ruse, Ballard claimed he would not sexually touch the trafficked women offered to him at strip clubs and massage parlors. According to the lawsuit, Ballard began using"Couples Ruse" as a tool for sexual grooming, asking women to practice before the mission took place and practice their sexual chemistry through"tantric yoga, couples massages with escorts, and lap dancing on Ballard’s lap."
"At the strip clubs, Ballard would pay for and receive lap dances, and ingest alcohol and pills at these practice on OUR’s dime with donor monies," the suit reads. The suit also says Ballard would badmouth previous female participants for being"crazy" and falling in love with him.
