nathan chasing horse trial abuse actor indigenous.

Nathan Chasing Horse’s trial is set to begin with jury selection. The former “Dances with Wolves” actor is accused of sexually abusing Indigenous women and girls in a case that sent shock waves through Indian Country. Prosecutors allege he used his reputation as a medicine man to take advantage of his victims, who came to him for healing. After setbacks and delays, the case finally proceeded to trial after prosecutors said he recorded himself sexually abusing a girl younger than 14. They said the videos were found on cellphones in a locked safe in the house he shared with five wives. Jury selection began Tuesday. Chasing Horse has pleaded not guilty.
