Democrat lawmaker quits after arrest for alleged child sex crimes
A Democrat state lawmaker in North Carolina has quit after being jailed for allegedly committing child sex crimes.
I’ve just received word that Representative Cecil Brockman has resigned from the North Carolina House. This is a necessary step toward accountability. As I’ve said before, such actions have no place in our society, much less in the NC House. #ncpol pic.twitter.com/XyMPJgmAhe

A report from Libs of TikTok said it is state Rep. Cecil Brockman, a Democrat, who is out.
His own letter to the legislature conceded he’s unable to do the work needed while the charges are pending.

A report from LifeZette said Brockman has been accused of crimes involving a 15-year-old.
Officials in the state had said he needed to go away.
The report said, “Court records show that Brockman was arrested on October 8 and charged with two counts of statutory sexual offense with a child and one count of taking indecent liberties with a minor.”
Brockman’s letter said he needed to focus on his defense.
“According to police and court filings, Brockman met the teenager in May through an online app. Guilford County District Attorney Avery Crump told the court that Brockman later tried to locate the teen by using a tracking app and even called 911 in an attempt to reach the individual,” the report explained.
He’s been in custody in the Guilford County Jail on a million dollar bond.
He was being considered for expulsion from the legislature at the time he quit.
