A Democratic lawmaker in North Carolina is behind bars this week after being charged with felonies tied to alleged sexual conduct with a minor.

State Rep. Cecil Brockman, who represents Guilford County, is facing two counts of statutory rape of a child between the ages of 13 and 15 and two counts of indecent liberties with a child, according to court records obtained by Fox News Digital.

The 41-year-old legislator is being held without bond at the High Point Detention Center and is expected to make a court appearance on Thursday. Jail records on Wednesday confirmed he remains in custody at the Guilford County facility.

The magistrate’s order says Brockman is accused of engaging in sex acts with a 15-year-old in August and is twice alleged to have committed and attempted to commit “a lewd and lascivious act” upon the juvenile, the Associated Press reported.

House Minority Leader Robert Reives, D-Chatham, told WRAL, “This is a developing situation and it is important to let the legal process unfold.” He added that the allegations “if true, would disqualify him from public office.”

Republican leadership echoed those calls. House Majority Leader Brenden Jones, R-Columbus, condemned the alleged conduct.

“This behavior is appalling and has no place in the General Assembly. I am calling on Brockman’s resignation immediately,” Jones wrote in a post on X. 

As of Wednesday evening, no public statement had been issued by Brockman or his legal representation. His next court appearance is scheduled for Thursday in Guilford County District Court.
