On April 27th, Nathan Chasing Horse, the actor from Dances with Wolves, just got hit with a life sentence in Nevada for sexually assaulting indigenous, women and girls. A judge handed it down Monday, after a jury nailed him on 13 charges, mostly sexual assault from three women, one only 14 when the abuse kicked off. He beat a few counts but faces the max now. He built his name playing a young Sue Warrior in that Oscar-winning flick, then rolled through Indian country as a self-proclaimed Lakota medicine. Man, hitting pow-owls and leading ceremonies, prosecutors laid out how he twisted that status to trap victims for close to 20 years. Victims poured out their pain in court, talking lasting trauma, shattered faith, and wrecked trust in sacred ways. Families said he straight betrayed their beliefs, one mom still battles to reclaim her spirituality while another victim dealt with hell fallout. From the assaults. Chasing Horse stared ahead in his jail jumpsuit, denying it all and calling the verdict a miscarriage

of justice. Meanwhile, more charges loom in Canada. British Columbia prosecutors are watching his appeals, and an Alberta warrants days active. This wraps a long fight for justice that shook communities nationwide, pushing accountability for fake healers hiding behind fame and pushing victims. Towards some real healing ahead, that's the story for today. Incident and celebrity news today, driven by AI.
