MADISON, Wis. – A University of Wisconsin-Madison professor was allowed to work on campus for months after he pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting young girls even though some colleagues were threatened by his presence, according to a document released Thursday.
Roberto Coronado, a professor of medical physiology, was allowed to continue to work while he was on bail facing sexual assault charges last year. Coronado pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting three girls in March but was allowed to continue working until he was sentenced to 12 years in prison in August.
