A University of Wisconsin Medical School professor was sentenced to eight years in prison and 10 years of supervision Friday for sexually assaulting three young girls over the past 10 years.
Dane County Circuit Judge Diane Nicks ordered the sentence for Roberto B. Coronado, 52, a professor of physiology on the UW campus since 1989. Referring to the crimes, she observed, “to say they are serious almost understates what happened.”
Coronado was charged and entered no contest pleas to assaulting two girls over a period of years and with assaulting a third girl on one occasion.
