EXCLUSIVE: Has Tim Ballard been EXCOMMUNICATED? Anti-child trafficking activist - who was portrayed by Jim Caviezel in Sound of Freedom - is NOWHERE to be found on Mormon church records after being accused of sexual misconduct

Former CIA agent Tim Ballard's membership of the Mormon church is in doubt after a records search showed he does not appear on the institution's database, fueling suggestions he has been excommunicated, DailyMail.com has learned.

Ballard, whose story was turned into the hit film 'Sound of Freedom' starring Jim Caviezel, has been accused by several women of sexual harassment during his leadership of the anti-trafficking organization Operation Underground Railroad (OUR).

The 47-year-old is alleged to have pushed the women into sharing a bed with him or showering together, telling them it was to convince traffickers they were married.

In response, the Mormon church - of which Ballard is a member - last month released a coded statement condemning 'activity regarded as morally unacceptable', without stating what this activity was.

But it appears the church has now severed ties with the married father-of-nine altogether, with a search of its internal database failing to produce his records.

Ballard is said to have sent at least one woman a photo of himself in his underwear, covered in fake tattoos, according to one source.
