New details in case against former state rep Cecil Brockman, his alleged teen victim

New Developments in Cecil Brockman Case

On Monday, a judge reduced the bail of former North Carolina state representative Cecil Brockman from over $1 million to $250,000. This adjustment occurred during a bond hearing where new details about the case emerged.

Charges and Defense Claims

Brockman was charged in October with having a sexual relationship with a boy aged 15 or younger. His legal team claims Brockman believed the boy was an adult and did not know his true age until after his arrest. The judge, however, expressed skepticism toward this explanation.

Investigation and Police Involvement

Police became involved after Brockman himself called 911, trying to locate the 15-year-old. The teen was found and taken to a hospital, where he revealed his relationship with Brockman to authorities.

Brockman’s Attempts to Contact the Teen

While the boy was hospitalized, Brockman made multiple attempts to see him. The judge disclosed that Brockman even tried to admit himself to the hospital. When that failed, he attempted to have his mother gain access to the teenager on his behalf.

"The judge made it clear that he isn't buying that claim," according to the News and Observer.

These shocking revelations add new complexity to the ongoing case against Brockman.
