U.S. federal prosecutors dismiss Nathan Chasing Horse’s long-dormant sex abuse case

Back-to-back dismissals a stunning development in legal saga for former actor, who also faces similar charges on Tsuut'ina First Nation

LAS VEGAS — Federal prosecutors in Nevada have quietly dismissed a long-dormant sex abuse case against Nathan Chasing Horse, though the former Dances with Wolves actor still faces criminal charges elsewhere.

The federal case was thrown own on Oct. 1, just as state prosecutors were finalizing the dismissal of their own indictment against Chasing Horse under an order from the Nevada Supreme Court.
