The newest charges against Chasing Horse, 46, of North Las Vegas, are two federal counts of sexual exploitation of children and one count of possession of child pornography, KTNV<\/em>, a Las Vegas TV station, reported. He allegedly videotaped sex assaults.<\/p>\n

\n

The charges were revealed in a federal criminal complaint filed on Wednesday in Nevada U.S. District Court. The counts are part of mounting allegations he assaulted or exploited several indigenous girls and women over a period of about 20 years. As of this week, there are at least six victims in Nevada. One was reported as young as 13.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So far, Chasing Horse hasn’t entered a plea. A preliminary hearing in the state case is scheduled for February 22.<\/p>\n

$300K Bail Set<\/h2>\n

During a North Las Vegas court appearance on Wednesday, Justice of the Peace Craig Newman set Chasing Horse’s bail for the Nevada cases at $300K. Chasing Horse’s attorney asked for bail to be set at $50K.<\/p>\n

Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney William Rowles argued for the amount to be $2M. He claimed the former actor is \u201cgrooming young children\u201d to take the place of other females as they \u201cgrow up.” He currently has five wives, according to the AP.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

If he makes bond, he may be placed in custody on federal charges, according to the AP. <\/em>As of early Thursday, Chasing Horse had not posted bond and remains in custody on state charges at the Clark County Detention Center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After Newman set bail, friends and relatives of Chasing Horse seated in the court cheered with the prospect he could be released from custody, according to the AP.<\/em><\/p>\n

If Chasing Horse is eventually released, Newman ordered that he must live with a relative, wear an electronic monitor, and can’t have contact with minors or any of the alleged victims, local TV station KVVU<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

Canadian Victim<\/h2>\n

Canadian authorities in British Columbia issued a warrant last week against Chasing House for sexual assault, local tv station KLAS<\/em> reported. The victim claims he assaulted her in 2018 in Keremeos, a small town near the Washington State border, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.<\/p>\n

More Canadian charges are possible, with the Calgary Herald<\/em> reporting this week that two or more possible victims are from Alberta\u2019s Tsuut\u2019ina Nation.<\/p>\n

Movie Star, Alleged Cult Member<\/h2>\n

On January 31, Chasing Horse was arrested on eight Nevada charges. These include four counts of sex trafficking of an adult, as well as sexual assault against a child, sex assault, child abuse or neglect, and possession of pornography depicting a victim under the age of 16.<\/p>\n

\n

Nevada authorities claim that Chasing Horse was actually the leader of the cult group, The Circle. Members of the cult allegedly believed Chasing Horse was a “medicine man” and had spiritual powers, according to an arrest warrant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At one time, the alleged cult had some 300 members.<\/p>\n

Chasing Horse achieved national fame from Kevin Costner’s 1990 Oscar-winning western film, Dances with Wolves.<\/em>\u00a0He portrayed a character called “Smiles A Lot.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
