A Nevada judge has thrown out a drug trafficking charge against a former "Dances With Wolves" actor but upheld a Las Vegas grand jury's sweeping indictment on 18 sexual abuse-related felony crimes.
Chasing Horse, 46, had asked Kierny to toss the entire indictment, saying his accusers wanted to have sex with him. One of the women was younger than 16 -- the age of consent in Nevada -- when she says Chasing Horse began abusing her.Chasing Horse was indicted in February on charges of sexual assault of a minor, kidnapping, child abuse, lewdness and drug trafficking. He has been held on US$300,000 bail at a county jail since Jan.
Chasing Horse was born on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota -- home to the Sicangu Sioux, one of the seven tribes of the Lakota nation -- and is widely known for his portrayal of Smiles a Lot in Kevin Costner's 1990 film. The alleged crimes date to the early 2000s and cross multiple U.S. states, including Nevada, Montana and South Dakota, according to his indictment in state court.
