Salt Lake City declines to charge anti-child-trafficking activist with sexual assault

The district attorney in Salt Lake City has decided not to file charges against Tim Ballard, the founder of an anti-child-trafficking organization, following allegations of sexual assault made by several women in lawsuits. Sim Gill, the district attorney, stated that there is 'insufficient admissible evidence' to proceed with charges. Ballard gained prominence through the 2023 film 'Sound of Freedom', which highlighted his efforts against child trafficking.
