The former 'Dances with Wolves' actor is accused of decades-long abuse against Indigenous women and girls, with new charges added in Nevada.

  • A Nevada grand jury has issued a 21-count indictment against Nathan Chasing Horse, including charges of producing and possessing child sexual abuse materials.
  • The indictment follows a Nevada Supreme Court ruling that dismissed the previous charges due to prosecutorial misconduct, but allowed for refiling.
  • Chasing Horse, who rose to fame in the 1990 film 'Dances with Wolves,' allegedly used his status as a self-proclaimed Lakota medicine man to exploit vulnerable women and girls.
  • Authorities in the U.S. and Canada have corroborated longstanding allegations, leading to additional charges, including those related to human trafficking.
  • Chasing Horse remains in custody in Las Vegas, with his legal challenges unfolding amid increased focus on crimes against Native women.
