A North Carolina Democratic state lawmaker resigned from his position after being charged with felonies tied to alleged sexual conduct with a minor.
The move from Rep. Cecil Brockman of High Point comes after he faced bipartisan calls to resign and a potential committee investigation, announced by North Carolina’s House speaker, into his alleged misconduct.
"I am currently facing criminal charges brought against me in Guilford County. Due to the seriousness of these accusations, I need to focus on my defense of these allegations," Brockman, 41, said in a statement obtained by WXII. "As a result, I am unable to fulfill my duty and service to my constituents in Guilford County. As a result, I am resigning my position from the NC House of Representatives effective immediately."
North Carolina House Speaker Destin Hall said Brockman’s decision "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 added, according to WXII.
Brockman is facing two counts of statutory rape of a child between the ages of 13 and 15 and two counts of indecent liberties with a child, according to court records obtained by Fox News Digital.

“Bipartisan” - musta been really bad for Themocrats to react.
He can always run for mayor later if he gets off.
That should give Republicans a super majority in the NC House.
I didn’t say he wasn’t guilty.
