Police in Canada say they will not pursue a criminal investigation into a recent case in which a doctor sterilized an Inuit woman without her consent.
The Canadian government has said that anyone who commits forced sterilization could be subject to assault charges and that police are responsible for deciding whether to proceed with criminal investigations.
The woman’s lawyer, Steven Cooper, said she is unwilling to proceed with a criminal complaint and remains traumatized from having participated in a medical board investigation. While police and prosecutors have discretion, Kelly said, they “do not have the discretion to simply turn a blind eye to what appears to be evidence of a serious aggravated assault.”
The woman sterilized by Kotaska sued him and the hospital for 6 million Canadian dollars , alleging his actions were “oppressive and malicious.”
