Georgia Freshman London Seymour Charged With 11 Felony Counts Tied to TikTok 'Door Kick' Damage

His attorney is pursuing pretrial diversion following claims the case was overcharged.

Overview

  • Authorities allege Seymour and three others damaged 11 doors in two University of Georgia residence halls on Dec. 5-6 during a viral “door kick” challenge.
  • He was arrested Jan. 29 in Athens, booked into the county jail, and released on bond the same night, according to jail and magistrate records.
  • County records now list 11 second-degree criminal-damage counts after an initial report of 131 counts was corrected.
  • Attorney Kim Stephens says the defense will seek a Pretrial Diversion Program that would include paying for the damage and could lead to dismissal.
  • The university and coach Kirby Smart have not publicly addressed his team status; Seymour is a walk-on freshman who appeared in one game and is the son of Hall of Famer Richard Seymour.
