Alleged cult leader now facing sex assault charge in tribal court

LAS VEGAS — Nathan Chasing Horse, an alleged cult leader and former actor arrested in North Las Vegas and accused of sexually assaulting and trafficking women and girls, is now facing an additional charge from the Fort Peck Indian Reservation.

A judge from the Fort Peck Tribal Court signed a warrant Friday charging Chasing Horse, 46, with aggravated sexual assault of a child, according to a copy of the warrant obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The warrant marks the fourth jurisdiction in which Chasing Horse faces charges.

Chasing Horse was banished in 2015 from the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, which is located in northwest Montana and is home to the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux tribes, after he was accused of human trafficking, spiritual abuse and intimidation of tribal members.
