The ruse began with Ballard and several women cross-country trips to “practice” their “sexual chemistry” with tantric yoga, couple's massages with escorts and performing lap dances on Ballard, the lawsuit claimsFive women on Monday sued the founder of an anti-child-trafficking group that inspired a popular movie this year, alleging he sexually manipulated, abused and harassed them on overseas trips designed to lure and catch child sex traffickers.
While promotional materials portrayed the group's overseas missions as “paramilitary drop-ins to arrest traffickers and rescue children,” they mostly involved"going to strip clubs and massage parlors across the world, after flying first class to get there, and staying at five-star hotels, on boats, and at VRBOs across the globe," the lawsuit alleges.
The women, who filed the lawsuit under pseudonyms, allege Ballard meanwhile used his membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and connection to church leaders to persuade them what he was doing was just for the good of children in need of help.
