TORONTO -- A Toronto police officer tasked with giving advice on keeping women safe on campus has now issued an apology for suggesting they could avoid sexual assault by not dressing "like sluts."

The comments were made during a campus safety information session at York University's Osgoode Hall Law School last month, which the officer was assigned by the force to lead.

The officer has written a letter of apology to the university's students and staff, Toronto police spokesman Mark Pugash said Thursday.

"The comments that were made are clearly diametrically opposed to the way in which we train our people, the way in which we train our investigators and the way in which we write about sexual assault," he said.
