Death, sex abuse, hush money — the dark side of Vince McMahon’s WWE

The Nevada trial for a "Dances With Wolves" actor accused of sexually abusing indigenous women and girls for more than a decade is on hold indefinitely, a state judge confirmed this week.  Nathan Chasing Horse, 46, who played Smiles a Lot in the 1990 film, has been charged with sexual assault of a minor, kidnapping, lewdness and child abuse along with accusations he runs a cult and takes underage wives.  His trial was expected to start in May, but on Wednesday, Chasing Horse’s public defender Kristy Holston asked for a hold on the proceedings after they asked the state Supreme Court to toss his indictment.  Chasing Horse was arrested in January and was indicted in February. He is charged with 18 felonies.  In March, he pleaded not guilty to the charges.  If his request for a dismissal is denied, a new trial date will be set, Clark County District Judge Carli Kierny said.

A musical stage adaptation of the hit 1992 Robert Zemeckis film Death Becomes Her will take another step in its development this week when Universal Theatrical Group hosts a private reading in New York City, with a starry cast of Broadway performers, including Megan Hilty, Jennifer Simard and Christopher Sieber, taking part.

A judge upheld an 18-count indictment against "Dances with Wolves" actor Nathan Chasing Horse Friday. In an order issued late Friday afternoon, Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny said state prosecutors presented enough evidence for "a reasonable grand juror to conclude that the sexual assaults occurred" but found that there was no substantive testimony connecting Nathan Chasing Horse to the psilocybin mushrooms investigators found while searching his home. So, Kierny tossed the drug trafficking charge.
