Nathan Lee Chasing His Horse, an actor in Dances With Wolves and now known as Nathan Chasing Horse, was arrested in Nevada for sexual assault following a raid on his home.
The former actor allegedly became a cult leader and is accused of abusing “young Indigenous girls over a period of two decades,” according to The Associated Press.
Chasing Horse was reportedly taken into custody after SWAT officers searched the home he shares with his five wives after months of investigation. He is best known for playing Smiles a Lot in the Kevin Costner-directed film.
Authorities reportedly received a tip in October 2022 regarding Chasing Horse, who is believed to be a leader of a cult called The Circle.
According to the search warrant, Chasing Horse had sexual allegations against him in states including Montana, South Dakota and Nevada dating back to the early 2000s. Authorities have already identified six of the alleged victims, some as young as 13.
The document also states that Chasing Horse was banned from the Fort Peck Reservation in Montana in 2015 following allegations of human trafficking.
