Nathan Chasing Horse’s<\/a> attorney is attempting to get the Nevada Supreme Court to dismiss all state charges against the North Las Vegas resident. The former cult leader and movie star is accused of repeated sexual abuse<\/a> of Native American girls and women.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Clark County Public Defender Kristy Holston filed a 38-page appeal challenging whether prosecutors had sufficient evidence to bring 19 charges<\/a> against Chasing Horse. They include 10 counts of sexual assault against a minor under the age of 16, six counts of sexual assault, as well as open and gross lewdness, first-degree kidnapping of a minor, and trafficking in a controlled substance. The drug charge was dismissed last month.<\/p>\n

Nathan is pursuing this extraordinary writ because the trial court refused to dismiss the charges contained within the indictment in this case,\u201d according to the appeal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The document further claims that although a woman testified she did not want to have sex with Chasing Horse when she was 14, she \u201cdid not testify that she told Nathan \u2018no.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Neither did the female witness testify that he \u201cused force\u201d against her, nor did he utter \u201cany threats to her,\u201d Las Vegas TV station KLAS<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

A female witness even appeared to have once had romantic feelings toward Chasing Horse. She said to him, \u201cEither you let me move in or I am walking out,\u201d according to documents from an interview conducted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.<\/p>\n

The appeal also disputes Chasing Horse\u2019s alleged grooming of girls and women as future wives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In April, Judge Carli Kierny ruled there was sufficient evidence for \u201ca reasonable grand juror to conclude that the sexual assaults occurred.” Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney Stacy Kollins, meanwhile, said she was \u201coffended\u201d by claims of \u201ctransactional sex\u201d and the questions raised in the case about consent.<\/p>\n

Victim Claims Rape<\/h2>\n

KLAS<\/em> reported earlier this year that Corena Leone, formerly Corena Chasing Horse, said Nathan Chasing Horse first sexually assaulted her when she was 14.<\/p>\n

What happened there was rape and there\u2019s no other label to put on it,\u201d Leone, now 25, told KLAS<\/em>. \u201cHe is a narcissist and he knowingly does what he does and he doesn\u2019t have any remorse for it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Leone’s mother was suffering from cancer and Leone hoped Chasing Horse, who was seen as a medicine man, could help to cure her.<\/p>\n

Defendant in Jail<\/h2>\n

Chasing Horse remains in custody at the Clark County Detention Center. His bail was set at $300K.<\/p>\n

The current Supreme Court appeal delays the start of a Las Vegas criminal trial that was to commence on May 1.<\/p>\n

Chasing Horse also faces related federal charges, as well as warrants in Montana and Canada.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He starred in the movie \u201cDances With Wolves\u201d and was reportedly the leader of a cult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
