KJ Biermann, the 15-year-old son of Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, appeared in Fulton County Superior Court on Friday, where a judge set bond at $200,000 on seven felony charges. The case centers on an alleged April assault of a female classmate at a Georgia Life Time Fitness center, and prosecutors told the court they also found videos on his phone allegedly showing penetrative sex with a family member under 12. His defense attorney, Jason Sheffield, called the situation“so traumatizing”for the teen and said he is“not only presumed innocent, but is, in fact, innocent.”
The bond conditions are strict. Biermann will be on house arrest at Kim Zolciak’s home, must attend virtual school, cannot use social media or a phone, and cannot have contact with the victim or anyone 16 or under. A victim statement read in court said she is“living in fear”and asked the judge to consider her safety. Sheffield said Biermann will enter a not guilty plea at an October 14 arraignment.
The case has drawn national attention because it mixes a well-known reality TV family with serious felony allegations and new evidence revealed in open court. As it moves toward arraignment, the legal proceedings and the question of victim safety will likely stay in the headlines.
