Tim Ballard, who left his job with the US Department of Homeland Security to rescue children from sex slavery, has been accused of sexual misconduct with several of the female decoys he has worked with on the kinds of undercover operations chronicled in "Sound of Freedom," CBN News reported.

In June, the Utah native left his position at Operation Underground Railroad, the organization he founded in 2013 to fight child sex trafficking, after an employee reportedly filed a complaint against him when they returned from a trip together. An internal O.U.R. investigation into the matter led to Ballard's ouster.

Ballard is now defending himself in an Instagram video he posted over the weekend.

"Based on the allegations that are flying around and the questions being asked," he said, "we've decided to tell you these tactics. While I do so, I'm going to pay homage, respect, love, and gratitude for these female operators who serve such an important role in rescue operations."

He went on to explain "children don't just fall out of the sky," noting a lot of behind-the-scenes work is necessary in order to successfully dupe sex traffickers into agreeing to work with Ballard in what is—unbeknownst to the criminals, of course—a sting operation.

"It's a very proactive work," said Ballard. "So if I am ... or one of my operators is approached by a trafficker trying to put a child to service on that person or a sex worker and that man, that operator doesn't partake of what's being offered, they lose credibility, and so we came up with a concept that we call the 'couple's ruse' or the 'couple's tactic.'"

Using that "tactic," Ballard explained, he and a female operator will go into a situation, either pretending to be married or dating. As the operation unfolds, one of the sting operators will feign interest in engaging sexually with the child being offered to them while the other resists.

"The bottom line is we block for each other," he said. "So the trafficker sees the situation and recognizes that I have every excuse not to partake. Hundreds, maybe thousands of children have been rescued using this amazing tactic"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
