Major ‘Sound of Freedom’ Financier Arrested And Charged With Child Kidnapping

Fabian Marta, a financier of the film Sound of Freedom, has been arrested and charged with child kidnapping, according to reports.

Marta, who said in comments on Facebook that he was an “angel investor” in the film and that his role involved stopping it from getting “buried” by Disney, was arrested on July 21 for “removing a non-family member below the age of 14 without their parent’s consent.

”

As per Missouri Courts, Marta was arrested on July 21 by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department under the code RSMO 565.115, stated to be Kidnapping in the First Degree.

Although the specific details of the case have not yet been shared by officials, due to the information stated on the file, this would mean that Marta is accused of removing a non-family member below the age of 14 without their parent’s consent.  [via Dexerto]

Sound of Freedom details the career of Operation Underground Railroad founder Tim Ballard and was released in theaters earlier this summer. The film has one of the box office surprises of the summer as it has made over $155 million at the global box office.

Those figures, however, are quite obscured, as Angel Studios, the studio behind the film, instituted a “Pay It Forward” program which allows people to purchase large swathes of tickets as a “donation” to others, which are then being counted in the box office receipts regardless of whether or not they’ve been claimed.

Sound of Freedom stars Jim Caviezel as Tim Ballard, the founder of the non-profit organization Operation Underground Railroad.

Caviezel, a public endorser of QAnon-based conspiracy theories, has also appeared in films such as My Own Private Idaho, The Rock, G.I. Jane, The Thin Red Line, The Passion of the Christ, and Deja Vu, and starred in the CBS series Person of Interest, which ran from 2011 to 2016.

In addition to Caviezel, Sound of Freedom also features Mira Sorvino, Bill Camp, Eduardo Verástegui, Javier Godino, José Zúñiga, Kurt Fuller, Gary Basaraba, and more.
