Nathan Chasing Horse appeared in court for the second time after his arrest on charges of sexual assault and human trafficking. NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. — — A former"Dances With Wolves" actor was arraigned Monday in Nevada on felony charges that he, but testimony from investigators and victims before a judge addressed Nathan Chasing Horse's bail was postponed.
Rulon Pete, executive director of the Las Vegas Indian Center, said after the hearing that the victims had been prepared “to help out with making sure justice has been served.” He appeared briefly in court last Thursday but did not speak as his public defenders invoked his right to a detention hearing. Nevada law requires prosecutors to present convincing evidence that a defendant should remain in custody.
Since then, he has built a reputation among tribes across the United States and in Canada as a “medicine man.” Detectives described him in a search warrant as the leader of a cult known as The Circle, whose followers believed he could communicate with higher powers. Las Vegas police said Chasing Horse abused his position, physically and sexually assaulted Indigenous girls, and took underage wives over two decades. He also was banished from the Fort Peck Reservation in Poplar, Montana, in 2015 following similar allegations.
After SWAT officers took Chasing Horse into custody last week, detectives searched the family’s home and found guns, 41 pounds of marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms, according to his arrest report.
