Nathan Chasing Horse is facing still another charge in a widespread sex crimes investigation. The “Dances with Wolves” actor and reputed cult leader is the subject of an additional warrant for aggravated sexual assault of a child, according to Las Vegas tv station KLAS.
The warrant was approved on Friday. It comes from Montana’s Fort Peck Tribal Court.
The 2005 case involve an attack on 13-year-old and 15-year-old girls, police told the media.
Fort Peck Tribes Department of Law & Justice Supervisory Criminal Investigator Kenny Trottier said statutory rape and rape allegations were also submitted to the Montana U.S. Attorney’s Office and Fort Peck Tribal Court. Both offices declined to prosecute the cases due to insufficient evidence, Trottier said.
Chasing Horse, 46, was first arrested on January 31 in North Las Vegas. North Las Vegas Justice Court current charges against him include sexual assault against a child, sexual assault, four counts of sex trafficking of an adult, child abuse or neglect, and possession of pornography depicting a victim under the age of 16.
Chasing Horse also faces two federal counts of sexual exploitation of children and one charge of possession of child pornography. Those cases stem from Nevada incidents.
In Canada, he was charged with sexual assault, KLAS reported. The victim is a woman who said she was sexually assaulted several times, police said.
Additional victims and witnesses have given statements to Canada’s Tsuut’ina Nation Police Service. The statements led to further investigations.
Chasing Horse is currently in the Clark County Detention Center. His bail was set at $300,000. He is scheduled to appear in North Las Vegas Justice Court on February 22.
Alleged Cop Killer Faces Possible Death Sentence
The man accused of fatally shooting Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Officer Truong Thai may face the death penalty if convicted in court.
Last week, Clark County prosecutors submitted a notice of intent to seek the death sentence against the defendant, Tyson Shawn Jordan Hampton, 24.
He was charged with the 49-year-old officer’s death on October 13. Hampton faces charges of murder, battery, battery constituting domestic violence, four counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault, and 19 counts of illegally discharging a weapon, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
Thai was responding to a domestic violence complaint on East Flamingo Road. He went up to the car in which Hampton was seated. After refusing to answer some questions, Hampton allegedly reached for an AK-47 pistol in the car.
He then fired the pistol, police said. A bullet passed through Thai’s bullet-proof vest. Hampton’s mother-in-law was also wounded in her leg, KLAS reported.
Hampton is scheduled to appear in Las Vegas Court on Thursday. He was being held early this week at the Clark County Detention Center. No bail was set as of Wednesday.
Thai was a patrol and training officer. He worked at the LVMPD for 23 years.
Steve Grammas, executive director of the Las Vegas Police Protective Association, agreed that prosecutors should seek the death penalty in the case.
