(The Center Square) – State Rep. Cecil Brockman, a Democrat from Guilford County helping multiple Republican policy measures overcome gubernatorial vetoes, is being asked by both major parties to resign amid charges of indecent liberties with a 15-year-old.

The 41-year-old sixth-term member of the House of Representatives was arrested in Guilford County on Wednesday. The charges are two counts statutory sex offense with a child and two counts indecent liberties with a child.

The North Carolina Democratic Party, led by Chairwoman Anderson Clayton, issued a party statement Thursday saying, “The North Carolina Democratic Party calls on Rep. Brockman to immediately resign. The profound seriousness of these criminal charges makes it impossible for him to effectively represent his community.”
