'Sound of Freedom's' Tim Ballard took ketamine and talked to a 'dead prophet': lawsuit
By Gage Skidmore

A new lawsuit is leveling several explosive allegations against Tim Ballard, the founder of anti-sex trafficking organization Operation Underground Railroad (OUR) who resigned from the organization earlier this year amid sexual misconduct claims.

As Vice News reports, one particularly wild allegation leveled against Ballard is that he took the anesthetic ketamine and then started communicating with an entity that he claimed was "the dead prophet Nephi," who is a singular figure in Mormon theology.

What's more, the suit alleges that Ballard had someone transcribe his supposed conversations with Nephi in which the prophet would "issue forth prophecies about Ballard's greatness and future as a United States Senator, President of the United States, and ultimately the Mormon Prophet, to usher in the second coming of Jesus Christ."

The lawsuit also details some decidedly un-Christlike alleged behavior by Ballard, who was the inspiration for the sleeper hit action film "The Sound of Freedom" that won acclaim from conservative Americans earlier this year.

Among other things, Ballard is accused of duping women interested in helping his anti-sex trafficking operations come with him to strip clubs and give him lap dances as part of a supposed ruse to fool traffickers into believing he and the assorted women were a couple.

Ballard is also accused of telling such women that these activities were morally acceptable after having a psychic named Janet Russon inform them that they were married to Ballard in past lives.
