The North Carolina Democratic Party is calling on Rep. Cecil Brockman to resign. He’s charged with raping a 15 year old

The claim is true because multiple independent and reliable news sources confirm that North Carolina Democratic Rep. Cecil Brockman has been charged with statutory rape and indecent liberties involving a 15-year-old, and there are documented calls from within the Democratic Party for his resignation.

Representative, Bryan Cohn on X: "I’m deeply disturbed by the news that Rep. Cecil Brockman has been charged with indecent liberties with a child and statutory rape. These allegations are unconscionable and incompatible with public service. He should resign immediately. No one is above the law. #ncpol" / X

What the Evidence Shows

Numerous reputable news outlets report that Cecil Brockman, a Democratic state representative from North Carolina, was arrested and charged with multiple counts related to sexual crimes involving a minor aged 13 to 15. These charges include statutory rape and indecent liberties with a child under the age of 16. The arrest and charges are supported by official jail records and court documents cited across sources.

Additionally, public statements from political figures, including members of the North Carolina Democratic Party, call for Brockman's immediate resignation, citing the severity and incompatibility of these allegations with public service. There is no credible evidence contradicting these reports, and the charges are current as of early October 2025. One source provides context on Brockman's political disputes but does not dispute the charges themselves.thecentersquare.comthecentersquare.comBrockman: No sacrificing constituents for ‘wealthy and white Democratic elite’
