Kim Zolciak’s son KJ Biermann Jr. pleaded not guilty to all seven felony counts against him in October 2026, following an August arrest tied to an alleged incident at a Lifetime Fitness in April. The indictment includes aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, false imprisonment, and three counts of sexual battery against a child under 16.
KJ was granted $200,000 bail and must remain at his mother’s house with an ankle monitor. His attorney, Jason Sheffield, says his client passed a polygraph and is“100 percent innocent,”while a police report noted no male DNA was found in the alleged victim’s mouth or vagina. Prosecutors alleged at a bond hearing that KJ had engaged in sexual activity with an underage relative, which the defense denies. Kim Zolciak herself called the allegations“reckless and deeply troubling.”
The next major moves: his legal team is seeking to transfer the case to juvenile court, and a final plea is expected in February 2027. It’s a complicated story with serious stakes for everyone involved, and we’ll keep tracking the court developments as they come.
