Kim Zolciak‘s son is facing an increasingly complicated legal situation following a dramatic bond hearing in Fulton County Superior Court. Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr., 15, was granted bond Friday in his ongoing sexual battery case, but the hearing took a shocking turn when prosecutors revealed previously undisclosed allegations tied to a separate juvenile matter.
According to Page Six, Deputy District Attorney Caitlin McGillicuddy told the court that investigators had found videos on KJ’s phone allegedly showing him engaging in sexual activity with a family member under the age of 12, and that the footage allegedly included “predatory, derogatory” language directed at the victim. McGillicuddy also revealed that this would mark the second time KJ has faced allegations of a serious sexual nature, noting he had previously been charged with sexual battery involving a victim under 16 and had been under court supervision since October 2025.
KJ’s lawyer, Jason Sheffield, quickly issued a statement disputing how the prior juvenile case was being portrayed in court. “The characterizations made in court regarding the prior juvenile matter involving KJ Biermann grossly misrepresent both the facts and the ultimate resolution of that case,” he said, describing the incident as “inappropriate, crude behavior involving two middle-schoolers” that did not result in an adjudication for statutory rape or a comparable offense. TMZ reported that Sheffield also characterized the alleged conduct captured on video as “boundary crossing” rather than anything more serious.
Kim Zolciak’s Son Was Granted Bond With Strict Conditions
Despite the new allegations, the judge ultimately granted KJ bond, setting it at $200,000. As part of his release conditions, he must live at Kim Zolciak’s home, attend school entirely online, avoid all social media and cellphone use, wear an electronic monitoring device, and have no contact with anyone age 16 or under, a restriction that reportedly extends even to his own younger siblings.
The case stems from an April 23rd incident at a Life Time fitness center in Alpharetta, Georgia, where KJ allegedly assaulted a female classmate in the facility’s co-ed sauna. He was indicted on seven charges on September 3rd, including aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, and false imprisonment. Following his August arrest, Sheffield maintained that KJ was “100% innocent,” and Kim Zolciak publicly defended her son as well, calling the allegations “reckless” and “deeply troubling.”
During Friday’s hearing, a statement from the alleged victim in the April incident was read aloud, describing her ongoing fear over alleged threats that KJ would retaliate against her and her family if released. “The thought of him being released scares me more than I can put into words,” the statement read.
KJ, who has been held at Atlanta’s Metro Regional Youth Detention Center since his arrest, reportedly remained emotionless throughout the hearing. He was supported in court by his father, retired NFL star Kroy Biermann, while Kim and her daughter Brielle Biermann also appeared in the courtroom gallery. Sheffield has separately requested that the case be moved to juvenile court rather than have KJ tried as an adult.
The case remains ongoing, and it’s unclear when additional hearings will be scheduled as both sides continue to navigate the serious and evolving allegations.
