According to court records, Cecil Antonio Brockman, 41, a Democrat who serves District 60 in Guilford County, was arrested on Wednesday for two counts of indecent liberties with a child and two counts of statutory rape of someone 13-15.
Brockman’s legislative assistant has been reached for comment.
Warrants allege that in August of this year, Brockman “unlawfully, willfully, and feloniously did commit and attempt to commit lewd and lascivious act” with a 15-year-old victim.
“The allegations against Rep. Brockman are serious and, if true, would disqualify him from public office,” House Democratic Leader Robert Reives said in a provided statement early Thursday.
Later in the day, just before noon, Reives provided an updated statement: “As we continue to learn more about the allegations against Rep. Brockman this morning, it has become clear that he is unable to continue serving in the House of Representatives. Rep. Brockman must resign immediately.”
Brockman will appear in court on Thursday afternoon and FOX8 will be there to provide more updates.
He was issued no bond upon arrest, and the magistrates order alleges that he has made attempts to locate the victim at a hospital and leverage his status as a representative to make contact the victim.
