'Dances with Wolves' star arrested, accused of running a sex cult and committing grievous crimes against girls

"Dances with Wolves" star Nathan Lee Chasing His Horse is accused of being a cult leader with more than just horses in his stable.

The 46-year-old Native American actor, polygamist, and so-called medicine man was arrested in Las Vegas on Tuesday and charged with a litany of sex crimes, including sexual assault against kids.

What are the details?

The Daily Mail reported that Chasing His Horse was banned from the Fort Peck Reservation in Poplar, Montana, in 2015 amid human trafficking allegations. However, he was not placed under investigation until October 2022, when police received a tip.

The resulting investigation led officials to suspect that Chasing His Horse was the leader of a cult known as the Circle.

Chasing His Horse, who starred alongside Kevin Costner in the Oscar-winning 1990 film "Dances with Wolves," was ultimately arrested near his North Las Vegas home, which he allegedly shares with his five wives, reported the Associated Press.

KLAS indicated that Chasing His Horse may have had a plan in place for his apparent concubines to take "suicide pills" in the event of a police raid. Although it is unclear whether any attempted to follow through, there was no resistance reported at the time of the suspect's arrest or the corresponding raid.

According to police, Chasing His Horse enjoyed notoriety among native tribes as a pseudo-healer in the U.S. and Canada and used his position and reputation "as a tool to sexually assault young girls on numerous occasions."

Chasing His Horse would perform healing ceremonies and host spiritual gatherings, in addition to speaking at powwows.

The 50-page search warrant obtained by the Associated Press links the suspected cult leader to at least six alleged victims. Sexual allegations against Chasing His Horse apparently date back over two decades across multiple states, including Montana, South Dakota, and Nevada, as well as in Canada. Some of the alleged victims were reportedly as young as 13.

He would allegedly target Native American girls from single-parent homes, then groom, abuse, and sexually assault them.

"The folks that are being labor trafficked are almost always vulnerable, and then it's only a short step from that to selecting from them and expanding into sex trafficking," South Dakota acting Attorney General Mark Vargo said in November after his office brought on two new coordinators to tackle missing Native American women and human trafficking cases in the state.

One of Chasing His Horse's so-called wives was allegedly given to him as a gift when she was just 15. Another girl was allegedly 16 when Chasing His Horse made her his "wife."

Chasing His Horse is also accused of trafficking women and forcing them to have sex with other men who paid him, afterwards feeding them contraceptive pills, as well as recording some of the sexual assaults.
