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>\nA 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
