CBC News has learned three Toronto police officers have been accused of sexually assaulting a female parking enforcement officer.

The three officers, who are with 51 Division, have been suspended. An internal investigation is underway.

The alleged incident did not occur while the officers were on the job, CBC News has learned.

Mike McCormack, the president of Toronto's police union, acknowledged the allegations and suspensions in a statement, but withheld any further comment until the complaint has been investigated.
