Criminal charges and resignation (2020)

Jan. 1, 1900

The Concord Monitor reported on August 26, 2020, that Forsythe was charged with "one felony count of second-degree assault and two misdemeanor counts of domestic violence." The charges are related to a domestic violence dispute reported on June 28, 2020. As reported by the Sentinel Source, Forsythe offered the following response: "The governor asked for my resignation obviously. He made a public statement about it. I’ve consulted other representatives and the caucus leader. All of them mentioned that that would be the most prudent choice...I haven’t been pressured...They left the decision up to me. I agree that that is the best option, not only for the district but for the state." Forsythe resigned on August 27 of the same year. He also withdrew from the Republican primary scheduled for September 8, 2020. On January 29, 2021, Forsythe pleaded guilty "to two simple assault charges against a former intimate partner."
