The North Carolina Democratic Party is calling on one of its own, state Rep. Cecil Brockman, of Guilford County, to resign.
Brockman was charged with raping a 15-year-old and having indecent liberties.
He’s due in court at 2 p.m. Thursday and is currently being held without bond.
The Guilford County Democrat represents High Point in the General Assembly.
The magistrate said Brockman has attempted to contact the victim and has used his status to try to find out information about the victim’s whereabouts.
