Overview
- Authorities say a female classmate accused Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr. of sexual assault at an Alpharetta gym on April 23, and he was arrested on August 17 on charges of aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery.
- KJ remains jailed without bond at the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center and has a juvenile-court hearing scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 1, where prosecutors and the court will review evidence and next steps.
- Defense lawyers and his mother say he is innocent, pointing to a voluntarily administered polygraph the family says he passed and to reports that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation found no male DNA in the hospital exam noted in police records.
- Investigators have cited surveillance footage and other materials under review, and prosecutors could seek to transfer the case to adult court if they conclude the evidence meets Georgia’s threshold for transfer.
- The case is intensifying public scrutiny because of the family’s celebrity profile and an ongoing custody dispute; the parents have been photographed supporting their other children and Kim Zolciak has made multiple jail visits to see her son.
