State party ‘calls on Representative Brockman to resign’

Chair of the N.C. Democratic Party, Anderson Clayton, said that the state party “calls on Representative Brockman to resign effective immediately. The profound seriousness of these criminal charges makes it impossible to represent his community,” in a social media post.

House Minority Leader Robert Reives, a Chatham County Democrat, said, “The allegations against Rep. Brockman are serious and, if true, would disqualify him from public office,” said in a statement on Thursday Morning. Reives added, “This is a developing situation and it is important to let the legal process unfold,” as reported by The News and Observer.

The arrest and subsequent charges against Brockman were initially reported by WXII-TV on Thursday. According to court documents, he is scheduled to make his first appearance at the High Point courthouse at 2 pm on Thursday.

The arresting officer alleged that he “did engage in a sexual act” and “did commit and attempt to commit a lewd and lascivious act upon the body” of a 15-year-old minor, according to a magistrate’s order filed in the state’s online court portal, reported by The News and Observer. The incident allegedly took place in August this year.
