Life in prison for actor Nathan Chasing Horse over sexual assaults on Indigenous women

A Nevada judge sentenced former actor Nathan Chasing Horse, notable for Dances With Wolves, to life in prison after a jury found him guilty on 13 charges related to sexually assaulting Indigenous women and girls. Victims described enduring trauma and betrayal as he used his role as a spiritual leader to exploit them; he’ll be eligible for parole after about 37 years. Separate charges in Canada remain pending, with international prosecutors coordinating next steps after his U.S. case.
