North Carolina state Rep. Cecil Brockman was arrested on Wednesday and is facing multiple felony counts related to sexually abusing a 15-year-old child.
Brockman, a Democrat serving his sixth term in the state House, is accused of engaging in a sexual act with a minor on August 15, according to BPR.
The records say that Brockman, 41, engaged in a sexual act with a 15-year-old. He faces two counts each of indecent liberties with a child and statutory rape of a child who is 15 years old or younger.
A magistrate’s order denying Brockman bond in the case says he is a state representative and has “attempted to use his status to gain information on the whereabouts of the victim.”
The order also says that Brockman made attempts to contact the juvenile victim, including in the hospital.
The lawmaker is being held in the High Point Jail and is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Thursday.
