Dances With Wolves Actor Convicted for Sexual Abuse

Nathan Chasing Horse, known for his role in the film 'Dances With Wolves,' has been found guilty of sexually assaulting indigenous women and girls. A jury in Nevada convicted him of 13 out of 21 charges, many involving a 14-year-old victim who was exploited under the guise of healing her mother from cancer.

Chasing Horse faces a minimum of 25 years in prison and will be sentenced on March 11. Additional charges are pending in other states and Canada. The case underscores the alarming exploitation of indigenous women and girls by figures who abuse their positions as Lakota medicine men.
