Dances With Wolves Actor Nathan Chasing Horse Sentenced to Life for Sexual Assault
A Nevada judge sentenced actor Nathan Chasing Horse to life in prison for sexually assaulting Indigenous women and girls. Chasing Horse was convicted of 13 charges, primarily related to sexual assaults on three women, after a jury found him guilty of exploiting his position as a spiritual leader. Victims and their families recounted the lasting trauma and loss of faith resulting from his actions, with one stating that her childhood and future were stolen. Despite his continued denial of the charges, the judge emphasized his manipulation of trust and spirituality for personal gratification. Additional charges remain pending in Canada.
