He remains jailed in Las Vegas awaiting trial in a sweeping sexual abuse case that has stunned Indian Country and helped law enforcement in two countries corroborate long-standing allegations against him.
Sgt. Nancy Farmer of the Tsuut’ina Nation Police Service acknowledged at a virtual news conference on Wednesday, June 14 2023, that the Alberta case is largely symbolic.
Chasing Horse, who faces not only decades in a Nevada prison if found guilty in the Las Vegas case but also criminal prosecution in five jurisdictions, may never return to Canada to face these charges.

According to Sgt. Nancy Farmer, Chasing Horse also faces nine charges in Alberta, including three counts of sexual exploitation and four counts of sexual assault. The crimes in their jurisdiction date back to 2005.
Some of his alleged victims are reported to have been as young as 13. One of his wives was allegedly offered to him as a “gift” when she was 15, while another became a wife after turning 16.
