Cecil Brockman, a Democrat representing Guilford County in the North
Carolina House of Representatives, was arrested Wednesday and charged
with multiple sex crimes, according to Guilford County records.
Brockman, 41, was charged with two counts of indecent liberties with a
child and two counts of statutory rape of someone between the ages of
13 and 15, according to the Guilford County sheriffs office.
Rep. Cecil Brockman (D-Guilford) has had a stormy relationship within
his own party in recent months.
Last December, Brockman issued a strong rebuke to own party
leadership, accusing Democrats of attacking him after being absent
from a key veto override vote.
I genuinely question the strategy of the Democratic establishment who
prefer to scapegoat a member of their own party to shift the heat off
themselves for an outcome they failed to change, Brockman wrote at
the time.
Brockman went on to issue a stark warning to his party ahead of the
2025 legislative session, in which Democrats held a one-seat margin
against Republican veto overrides.
For those in our party who desire to keep my name in their mouths,
let me make it plain and clear for you: Over these next two years, you
need me, Brockman said. I do not need you.
The 41-year-old Democrat who represents Guilford County was arrested
by the State Bureau of Investigation and charged with two counts of
indecent liberties with a child and two counts of statutory rape of a
15-year-old victim, according to a Guilford County magistrates order
issued Wednesday.
The order accuses Brockman of trying to use his status as a state
lawmaker to get information about the victim while the victim was in
the hospital.
Brockmen is being held without bond at the High Point Detention Center
and is expected to appear in court on Thursday.
The lawmaker has claimed indigency for the purpose of legal
representation. The county public defenders office told NC Newsline
no attorney has been appointed yet, and it may be days before that
happens.
Brockmans legislative assistant declined to comment.
Meanwhile, a bipartisan chorus of elected leaders called for
Brockmans immediate resignation after the news broke.
Democratic Gov. Josh Stein described the charges as extremely serious
and deeply troubling.
