ALBERTO COLL, CHAIRMAN OF THE STRATEGIC RESEARCH DEPARTMENT AT THE U.S. NAVAL COLLEGE, SENTENCED TO PROBATION
PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.- A naval professor was sentenced Tuesday to a year of probation for lying about a visit to Cuba to see his mistress.
Alberto Coll, the Cuban-born chairman of the Strategic Research Department at the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, pleaded guilty in March to lying about the purpose of the visit in 2004.
Coll told federal authorities he was visiting an ailing aunt.
U.S. District Judge Ronald Lagueux also fined Coll $5,000, calling the crime an aberration and an "error in judgment."

Coll, 49, apologized Tuesday to his wife and his college-age son.

As part of his plea bargain, Coll agreed not to seek any job that would involve access to classified information.
He remains employed by the college.
