NEWS ALERT: Democrat Lawmaker Charged with Statutory Rape of 15-Year-Old

From My Fox 8: A North Carolina State House of Representatives member who represents Guilford County has been arrested and charged with multiple sex crimes.

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.


In a chilling twist to the case, the report states that Brockman “has made attempts to locate the victim at a hospital and leverage his status as a representative to contact the victim.”

He was not given a bond, and is expected to appear in court on Friday.

Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said in a statement on X, “The criminal charges brought against Rep. Brockman are disturbing and disqualifying. He should resign immediately.”

Brockman was previously celebrated as the only openly LGBTQ member of the North Carolina General Assembly.

Former nuclear scientist Matt Van Swol pointed out that Brockman OPPOSED the “Parents’ Bill of Rights” which mandated that schools tell parents about their child’s mental and physical health.

Brockman was supposed to appear in court on Thursday, but then it was suddenly announced he was in the hospital for a “medical emergency” and the court date was delayed until Friday.
