He was found guilty after an 11-day trial including testimony from multiple victims back in January of this year, AP reports.

He was sentenced on Monday (April 27), and the full footage of the sentencing was posted by KTNV.

He denied the allegations when he spoke, saying “I deny them…I did not do these things,” and called it a “miscarriage of justice.”

Judge Jessica Peterson sentenced Chasing Horse to 37 years to life in prison, with the possibility of parole after serving a minimum of 25 years, per KTNV.

He got credit for spending 1,184 days in jail since his 2023 arrest.

“There is no way to get back the youth, the childhood loss, my first time, my first kiss, the graduation I never got to have. The life that little girl could have lived has been taken from me forever,” one woman testified, who was 14 at the time of the alleged assault, per AP.

Chief Deputy District Attorney William Rowles said in a statement, via People: “For decades, victims of Nathan Chasing Horse came forward and they were ignored. I hope this verdict gives them some peace.”

“Today’s verdict sends a clear message that exploitation and abuse will not be tolerated, regardless of the defendant’s public persona or claims of spiritual authority,” Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson added.

Nathan Chasing Horse‘s accusers and their families claimed he “exploited his position as a spiritual leader, with multiple victims attending his ceremonies or approaching him for medical help,” per BBC.

Deputy district attorney Bianca Pucci told the jury that he had “spun a web of abuse,” telling one victim that the spirits “wanted her to give up her virginity to save her mother, who had cancer,” per the BBC report.

He was facing 10 counts of sexual assault of a minor under 16, 1 count of open/gross lewdness, 1 count of sexual assault, and 1 count of possession of visual presentation depicting sexual conduct of a child, via KTNV.

There are more charges pending in other states and Canada against the actor.
