Accused Actor Ejected from Court Ahead of Sexual Abuse Trial

Nathan Chasing Horse, known for his role in "Dances with Wolves," was forcibly removed from a Las Vegas courtroom on Monday. He disrupted proceedings by demanding to dismiss his defense attorney just one week before his trial is set to begin. The judge ordered the trial to proceed as scheduled.

Chasing Horse faces 21 charges, including allegations of sexual assault against women and girls and filming himself abusing a minor. Prosecutors claim he exploited his standing as a spiritual leader and healer over two decades. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The trial, expected to last three weeks, is scheduled to commence shortly. The case has significantly impacted Native American communities, with a previous indictment dismissed due to prosecutorial misconduct before new charges were filed.
