Nevada Supreme Court Dismisses Nathan Chasing Horse Sex Abuse Case
The court's decision allows for the possibility of charges being refiled, citing procedural errors in the grand jury process.
- The Nevada Supreme Court has ordered the dismissal of an 18-count sex abuse indictment against Nathan Chasing Horse.
- The court found that errors, including an improper definition of grooming and lack of exculpatory evidence, tainted the grand jury proceedings.
- The dismissal is without prejudice, meaning the charges can potentially be refiled in the future.
- Chasing Horse, known for his role in 'Dances with Wolves,' has been in custody since January 2023 and faces additional charges in other jurisdictions.
- Authorities allege Chasing Horse used his position as a self-proclaimed medicine man to exploit vulnerable girls and women, leading to multiple criminal investigations in the U.S. and Canada.
