KJ Biermann, the fifteen-year-old son of reality TV star Kim Zolciak, has entered a not guilty plea to seven felony charges in his sexual battery and sodomy case. His attorney filed the plea in Fulton County Superior Court on Monday, October 5, waiving a formal arraignment and requesting that the case be transferred to juvenile court.
The charges include aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, false imprisonment, and three counts of sexual battery against a child under 16. Biermann was arrested in August over an alleged incident with an unidentified minor female at a local gym, and prosecutors claim footage found on his phone showed him with a family member under 12. Kim Zolciak has publicly defended her son, saying he passed a polygraph and that no DNA belonging to him was found.
With the plea now on the record and a juvenile transfer hearing expected, the next phase of this case will focus on where it gets tried and what evidence actually holds up. So we want to hear from you: should a fifteen-year-old face these charges in adult court, or does this belong in the juvenile system?
