KJ Biermann Held Without Bond on Aggravated Sodomy and Sexual Battery Charges

Prosecutors must decide whether to seek adult charges as courts and investigators review conflicting evidence.

Overview

  • Police say the alleged assault took place April 23 at a Life Time Fitness sauna in Alpharetta and a minor female reported the incident the next day.
  • The 15-year-old was taken into custody and is being held at a juvenile detention center without bond while a preliminary hearing is scheduled in early September.
  • Defense and family say KJ passed a voluntary polygraph and that a hospital exam found no male DNA linked to him, claims reported by defense lawyers and family statements.
  • Local reporting indicates authorities have obtained gym surveillance video showing both parties at the scene, a factor that prosecutors will review as they determine charging and next steps.
  • The case has drawn intense public scrutiny because the family is high profile and in a public divorce, which increases reputational stakes for the teen and the alleged victim as the juvenile-court process continues.
