He doesn't need to mindrape Sentry, he just needs to start a domino effect. Sentry's mind is fragile as is and will do the rest.
And to answer the above, yes, Apocalypse is a telepath on top of the other Swiss Army Knife of Superpowers in his arsenal. He can mindblast, brainwash, read minds, recall the memories of others, and repel psychic assaults. Not sure if he can create mental illusions though. Hasn't been shown on panel.

😂 Yup, first Apoc will get punched out of a building by Jess, after he fails to kidnap her brat as a new vessel; as he gets up, he says to Cage, "Foolish insect! I have toppled empires, humbled eternals, matched energies with the High Evolutionary, and defeated the x-men!" Cage: "I'm not the x-men, *****!" *KO's Apoc with roundhouse*
