Reports from the AP claim Las Vegas police identified at least six alleged victims and claims against Chasing Horse that date back to the early 2000s in Montana, South Dakota and Nevada.
As reported by KLAS 8 News Now, Chasing Horse told his alleged victims that spirits wanted them to have sex with him, and once they did, they’d be part of “The Circle,” which is an apparent cult.
Reports also claim Chasing Horse targeted girls from single-parent homes without father figures, groomed them, abused them and would give them emergency contraceptive pills after having sex with them.
Born on Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota, Chasing Horse is known for his roles in “Into the West,” “DreamKeeper” and “The Red Man’s View.”
