On Tuesday, Twitter account Leading Report tweeted what it claimed to be breaking news.
Mel Gibson is allegedly making a 4-part docuseries on the $34 billion global child sex trafficking market involving countries like Ukraine
The tweet was viewed over 4 million times, which had Gibson trending on social media.
Gibson's previous backing of the anti-sex-trafficking charity Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) makes this potentially legitimate intel.
O.U.R. founder Tim Ballard suggested in January that Gibson was involved in his upcoming four-part docuseries. Though not credited on IMDb, Ballard claims Gibson took over the final edit for his movie “Sound of Freedom”.
I told Mel, 'You gotta help me. This is gonna be expensive. I won't ask you for direct donation but can you help me film this? Let's film what's happening so we can get people to understand and they can support us.
Four months later, what I thought was going to be maybe a documentary about Ukraine, ends up being a four-part docuseries, that's almost done […] I know that human trafficking is a $32 billion-a-year business. It's the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world."
