Kroy“KJ”Biermann Jr., the 15-year-old son of Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, appeared in a Fulton County courtroom Friday for a bond hearing in his sexual battery case. The judge granted him a $200,000 bond with an ankle monitor and a no-contact order with the victim’s family. KJ has been held at Atlanta’s Regional Youth Detention Center since his arrest last month.
The hearing featured emotional testimony from the alleged victim, a classmate who said she has been threatened and alienated since coming forward. The judge also attached a notable condition: KJ must live at Kim Zolciak’s house, and no one 16 or under may stay or visit there. Prosecutors claimed video on KJ’s phone showed encounters with an underage relative, which his lawyer disputes as a misrepresentation of a previously resolved juvenile matter.
Kim Zolciak has defended her son, saying the allegations are“reckless and deeply troubling,”while KJ’s lawyer maintains he is“100 percent innocent.”The case raises complicated questions about juvenile justice, school safety, and how much protection accusers actually receive.
