The Toronto detective who cracked the case of "York U rapist" has revealed the major mistake the suspect made that eventually led to him being arrested.

There had been eight sexual assaults at York University between July and September 2001, beginning with groping, but quickly escalated to sexual assault with a weapon when a 22-year-old woman was sexually assaulted at knife point.

At the time, Toronto police had been warning students to be careful. 

"I'm scared, it is scary to go to school. It is supposed to be a safe place," one student said in 2001. "It's a bit alarming that it is happening on campus."
