Operation Underground Railroad is an organization, founded in 2013, whose mission is to combat child sex trafficking.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Vice, the organization reportedly confirmed that Ballard “resigned from O.U.R. on June 22, 2023,” and that “he has permanently separated from O.U.R.” <\/p>\n

Further, said the statement, “O.U.R. is dedicated to combatting sexual abuse, and does not tolerate sexual harassment or discrimination by anyone in its organization.”  <\/p>\n

The group stated it “retained an independent law firm to conduct a comprehensive investigation of all relevant allegations,” but would make no further comment “to preserve the integrity of its investigation and to protect the privacy of all persons involved.”<\/p>\n

As of mid-August, the anti-child trafficking movie had passed $174M at the box office, due largely in part to a support from right-wing groups and 6,678 grassroots supporters who invested in the project. By mid-August, it had made more than Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny <\/em>($172.9M) and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One<\/em>‘s ($160.8M) domestic box office. <\/p>\n

Ballard’s connection to the film is unclear. While he inspired it, he is not credited as a writer or producer. He did, however, attend red carpet events for the film in late June and August.<\/p>\n

Deadline has reached out to Angel Studios, which was behind the film, for comment and will add one if received.<\/p>\n
