Aboriginal women 'betrayed' after no charges in Quebec police abuse claims

Indigenous women from a Quebec town who accused police of sexual and physical abuse say they feel betrayed and humiliated after learning no criminal charges will be laid.
They say the justice system has failed them.
But the province's criminal prosecutions office says none of the allegations met the burden of proof necessary for indictments.
The shocking 2015 allegations led to calls for an inquiry into policing.
The story in Quebec is unfolding as law enforcement across the country is under growing scrutiny of the relationship between police and First Nations people in Canada.
The high-profile case began last year, when a number of women went public with their allegations to investigative news program "Enquete", describing intimidation, abuse of power, and sexual and physical abuse by provincial police stationed in Val d'Or, a town of 31,000 people some 530km (330 miles) northwest of Montreal.
