   A St. Paul man has been charged for sexually assaulting a woman at a downtown   
   St. Paul light rail stop, threatening to "snap her neck" if she didn't comply.   
      
   Charges say 64-year-old Louis Rogers faces one count of first-degree criminal   
   sexual conduct.   
      
   The woman was allegedly threatened by Rogers, saying he would snap her neck if   
   she didn't comply with his demands.   
      
   According to the criminal complaint:   
      
   On Aug. 20 just before 7 a.m., officers in St. Paul went to the 400 block of   
   Park St. on a report of a sexual assault. The victim told police the incident   
   happened about 10 minutes before the call was made.   
      
   Police learned that a man allegedly demanded the woman give him oral sex and   
   submit to sexual intercourse or else he would "snap her neck if she did not   
   comply."   
      
   The victim gave a description to officers and then was taken to a local   
   hospital for a sexual assault examination. Results are pending, according to   
   the complaint.   
      
   One of the descriptions the woman included regarding the man was "a vertical   
   scar on his stomach."   
      
   While on her way to the hospital, officers saw a man that fit the description   
   of the suspect. An officer took a picture of the man and went to the hospital   
   to speak with the victim. When he showed her the photo, the complaints states   
   the woman's "eyes    
   grew big" and she said: "Oh my god. That's him. That's him. I'm positive that   
   is him."   
      
   He was later identified as Rogers.   
      
   The woman told an investigator that she had been walking with a friend along   
   Rice St. in St. Paul toward her friend's house. They were approached by a man,   
   alleged to be Rogers, who asked them if they knew how to use the Metro Transit   
   light rail train to    
   get downtown.   
      
   The woman agreed to help the man and they both went to a transit kiosk to get   
   him a ticket. The woman's friend went to a fast food restaurant to wait for   
   her, court records state.   
      
   When the two got to a kiosk, Rogers allegedly became aggressive and grabbed   
   the woman's neck. The victim showed investigators the red marks left on her   
   neck from Rogers. She said that Rogers kept repeating "Do what I say and I   
   won't break your neck."   
      
   Rodgers then forced the woman to walk to a stairwell on the east side of a   
   church. Once they got to the stairwell, the woman attempted to get away but   
   was unsuccessful. The man made the woman perform oral sex and he then raped   
   her, according to the    
   complaint.   
      
   When police detained Rogers, he claimed he didn't know the woman initially.   
   Then, he stated that he had seen her "on the train a few times." Furthermore,   
   he denied the incident ever taking place and that he had no idea how the woman   
   knew about the scar    
   on his stomach.   
      
   The man underwent a sexual assault suspect examination and results are pending.   
      
   Rogers is currently in custody at the Ramsey County Jail in lieu of $80,000   
   bail. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. Rogers   
   made his initial court appearance on Tuesday and will be back in court on   
   Sept. 20.   
      
   According to court records, Rogers has an extensive criminal history. He has   
   been convicted of aggravated robbery, burglary, drug possession and theft   
   charges dating back to 1996.
