Prosecutors quietly dismiss Chasing Horse sex abuse case

LAS VEGAS – Federal prosecutors in Nevada have dismissed a long-dormant sex abuse case against Nathan Chasing Horse.
The dismissal of the federal case was granted on October 1. The former “Dances with Wolves” actor was charged in that case with two counts of child sexual exploitation and one count of possession of child sexual abuse material.

Prosecutors have decided to dismiss the case without prejudice, meaning charges can be refiled on September 27. That comes a day after the Nevada Supreme Court ordered the dismissal of a new state court complaint against Chasing Horse, which was finalized late Friday.

The federal charges stemmed from the same allegations that led to the now-committed murder of Chasing Horse.
