American Indian actor from Dances With Wolves charged with sexual violence

It looks like 2 movies starring Kevin Costner from nearly 4 decades ago have been tarnished by two of the co-stars. The first was Field of Dreams, which has been littered by the aforementioned Timothy Busfield, and the second is Dances With Wolves, which has been tainted by a onetime actor named Nathan Chasing Horse:

A Nevada jury on Friday convicted “Dances With Wolves” actor Nathan Chasing Horse of sexually assaulting Indigenous women and girls in a case that sent shock waves through Indian Country.

The jurors in Las Vegas found Chasing Horse guilty of 13 of the 21 charges he faced. Most of the guilty verdicts centered on Chasing Horse’s conduct with a victim who was 14 when he began assaulting her. He was acquitted of some sexual assault charges when the main victim was older and lived with him and his other companions.

Chasing Horse, 49, faces a minimum of 25 years in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for March 11.

He has also been charged with sex crimes in other states as well as Canada. British Columbia prosecutors said Friday that once Chasing Horse has been sentenced and any appeals are finished in the U.S., they will assess next steps in their prosecution.

This is obviously sad, but makes clear that even Oscar-winning films and such are not immune to infiltration by rotten apples. Now, for all we know, Field of Dreams and Dances With Wolves could fall into obscurity and hardly be viewed, all because 2 monsters have tainted them.
