LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The sentencing for Nathan Chasing Horse, the former “Dances with Wolves” actor, has been moved to next week after a Las Vegas judge granted a motion from his attorneys.
Chasing Horse was expected to be sentenced Wednesday after a jury found him guilty of 13 counts related to child sexual abuse, and acquitted him of eight others in January.
