   ST. CLOUD — A Stearns County judge on Wednesday, May 29, sentenced a   
   22-year-old St. Cloud man to four years in prison for raping a girl at   
   knifepoint inside Apollo High School in 2019.   
      
   Robert S. Epps Jr. was charged in 2021 with one felony count of third-degree   
   criminal sexual conduct for the assault. He initially pleaded not guilty but   
   amended his plea in March as part of a deal that ensures Epps sees prison time   
   in exchange for    
   dismissing other assault-related cases going through the judicial process.   
      
   According to court documents, a former classmate of Epps told police Epps,   
   then 18, followed her into a bathroom during a basketball game at Apollo High   
   School in December 2019 .   
      
   The girl, then 15, said Epps pushed her against the wall of a bathroom stall,   
   placed his hand on her throat and held a pocketknife to her stomach,   
   threatening to cut her if she didn't have sex with him. He then threw her to   
   the floor and raped her,    
   documents state.   
      
   The agreement, approved by Judge Michael Jesse, stipulates Epps must register   
   as a predatory offender for his lifetime, undergo 10 years of conditional   
   release and pay restitution.   
      
   The agreement also wrapped up other cases against Epps, including a separate   
   felony count for criminal sexual conduct with an underage victim in Stearns   
   County and a felony count for criminal sexual conduct in Benton County. He is   
   scheduled to be    
   sentenced in Benton County on June 27 .
