According to court records, the magistrate who denied bond wrote that Brockman “has access to abundant resources to aid in his flight from prosecution.”
The magistrate also wrote that Brockman “has made attempts to contact the victim … and has gone as far as attempting to locate the juvenile in the hospital and attempting to use his status to gain information on the whereabouts of the victim,” according to WBTV-TV.
Brockman was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, but the hearing was delayed due to what was termed a medical emergency, according to WGHP-TV.
Warrants claim that, in August, Brockman “unlawfully, willfully, and feloniously did commit and attempt to commit lewd and lascivious act” with a 15-year-old victim.
Political leaders have said Brockman should step aside.
House Democratic Leader Robert Reives was among those voices.
“It has become clear that he is unable to continue serving in the House of Representatives. Rep. Brockman must resign immediately,” he said.
Democratic Governor Josh Stein weighed in as well.
“These charges are extremely serious and deeply troubling. While the legal process has yet to play out, it’s clear he cannot effectively serve his constituents and should resign immediately,” Stein said.
Republican House Speaker Destin Hall also said Brockman should step down.
Hall called the charges “shocking and extremely serious.”
“Given the evidence that’s publicly known, he should resign immediately so these charges do not distract from the work of the North Carolina House,” he said.
