Kim Zolciak’s Son Arrested on Aggravated Sodomy and Sexual Battery Charges

Detention without bond highlights conflicting evidence before a juvenile-court preliminary hearing in early September.

Overview

  • A 15-year-old classmate told police that Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr. sexually assaulted her during a visit to a Life Time Fitness gym on April 23.
  • Alpharetta police arrested KJ on Aug. 17 and charged him with aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery, and he is being held at the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center without bond.
  • Investigators cite surveillance footage that shows KJ and the alleged victim entering the family locker room together and spending roughly 20–30 minutes there before the girl left and he went to the sauna.
  • A hospital sexual-assault exam reported no male DNA in the victim’s mouth or genitals, and the defense has pointed to that result and a claimed passed polygraph in arguing for KJ’s innocence.
  • The matter is proceeding in juvenile court with preliminary-hearing dates reported for early September and with juvenile rules that limit public disclosure of filings and evidence, which will shape how the case moves forward and how both families are affected.
