The former Pullman School District janitor arrested on multiple charges of child rape earlier this month has pleaded not guilty to all charges in his arraignment on Friday.
His trial is set to begin on February 17, according to court records.
Eric Anthony Robbins, originally arrested in late December on one charge of child rape and one of child molestation, saw court Jan. 16.
His not guilty plea included the initial charges, as well as many additional charges, which were added by the prosecution following the uncovering of digital evidence after a warrant was carried out.
Robins will return to court on Jan. 30 for his Omnibus hearing, which allows for the court to make decisions on pre-trial motions and to ensure Robins understands his plea, according to Department of Justice documents.
Following Robin’s initial arrest, the Pullman School District quickly released him as an employee. According to police, no crimes committed were associated with any students in the district or on district property.
The most recent Pullman School District Board meeting was held Jan. 14. No mention of employee background check procedures or the incident was made.

If he is found guilty (sure looks like he is) then he should be sent to Pelican Bay, and put him in with the general population. These evil sick bastard’s will never reform so maybe give him 50 years with no early release.
These kids will be messed up for a very long time, and may be life long. They will be needing some counseling. I would be very interested to see what his background is.
I’m sure it’s not the first time he has preyed on children. Hopefully more information will be coming.
