Barely an hour after N.C. House leaders took steps toward expelling him from the legislature, Guilford County Rep. Cecil Brockman submitted notice of his resignation.
Brockman, 41, was arrested and charged October 8 with multiple felony sex offenses with a minor.
Calls for his resignation came quickly from his own Democratic party as well as Republicans. But Brockman, who was initially hospitalized and is now jailed on a $1.05 million bond, has not publicly commented on the charges.
Late Friday afternoon, Republican N.C. House Speaker Destin Hall (R-Caldwell) announced the formation of a bipartisan “House Select Committee to Investigate Alleged Misconduct and Other Matters Included in Charges Against Representative Cecil Brockman.”
A little over an hour later, House Democratic leader Robert Reives (D-Chatham) announced that Brockman had resigned. Reives lauded the move, which will help shore up Democratic defenses against a veto override in that chamber.
“The allegations against him are serious and made it impossible for him to adequately represent his constituents,” Reives said in a news release.
It’s now up to the Guilford Co. Democratic Party to name a successor to the seat.
Hall said Friday that Brockman’s decision to resign “is the right thing to do for his constituents and for the North Carolina House of Representatives.”
“His departure spares the House from a difficult expulsion process and brings closure to this troubling chapter,” Hall posted on X.
