The North Carolina House of Representatives has launched a bipartisan investigation into Democratic Rep. Cecil Brockman, who is jailed on charges of sex crimes involving a 15-year-old.
Speaker Destin Hall announced the creation of a special committee to review the allegations and determine whether Brockman should be expelled, emphasizing due process.
Brockman, a six-term lawmaker from High Point, has not resigned despite calls from Gov.
Josh Stein and party leaders.
The committee will examine evidence and allow Brockman to respond, with a decision potentially taking weeks or months.
If expelled, a replacement will be appointed by Democratic leaders and confirmed by the governor.
The last expulsion was in 2008.
