Former NC Rep. Cecil Brockman Leaves Jail After Posting Reduced $250,000 Bond

He was released under strict house-arrest conditions following the judge’s decision to cut his bond.

Overview

  • Brockman posted bond Tuesday after a judge lowered it from $1.05 million, and video Wednesday showed him leaving the High Point Jail.
  • He is charged with two counts of statutory sex offense with a child and two counts of indecent liberties involving a 15-year-old.
  • Prosecutors say he met the teen on a dating app, lived with the youth for a time, tracked the teen via an app, tried to reach the teen at a hospital, and was recognized in videos found on the teen’s phone.
  • Release terms include house arrest at his mother’s home, electronic monitoring, no contact with the minor, no social media or cellphone use, and surrender of his phone and passport along with DNA and fingerprints.
  • He resigned his House seat on Oct. 31 after leaders formed a panel to consider expulsion, and Guilford County Democrats plan to nominate a replacement on Nov. 15 for the governor to appoint, with his next court date set for January 2026.
