KJ, the 15-year-old son of Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, has been released on a $200,000 bond after being charged in connection with an alleged sexual assault involving a female classmate.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Melynee Leftridge approved the bond in a Georgia courtroom on Friday, nearly one month after the teenager was arrested on August 17.
Under the bond conditions, KJ must live at his mother’s home and attend school virtually. He is prohibited from using social media or a cellphone and will be required to wear an electronic monitoring device.
He is also forbidden from having direct or indirect contact with the alleged victim, her family or anyone younger than 16.
The alleged incident involving the female classmate took place on April 23 at a Life Time fitness center in Alpharetta, Georgia.
A grand jury indicted the teenager on seven felony counts, including aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, three counts of sexual battery against a child under 16 and false imprisonment.
Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s teenage son, Kroy Biermann Jr., known as KJ, 15, has been released on bond after being charged in connection with an alleged sexual assault in April
During Friday’s hearing, Deputy District Attorney Caitlin McGillicuddy said KJ had previously faced a sexual battery charge involving a minor in October 2025, six months before the alleged encounter with his classmate.
That matter was handled in juvenile court, and KJ remains under court supervision, which is scheduled to continue until 2027.
KJ’s attorney, Jason Sheffield, disputed McGillicuddy’s account in a statement to Our News Outlet: “The characterizations made in court regarding the prior juvenile matter involving KJ Biermann grossly misrepresent both the facts and the ultimate resolution of that case.”
“The matter arose from inappropriate, crude behavior involving two middle-schoolers. It did not result in an adjudication for statutory rape, sexual intercourse or any comparable offense. Any suggestion otherwise is inaccurate and creates a materially misleading impression of how the juvenile matter was ultimately resolved.”
During Friday’s bond hearing over the April allegations, Sheffield told the judge that the case had been deeply distressing for KJ. “This has been so traumatizing to [KJ] personally. He is not a boisterous kid. He is somewhat quiet,” the attorney said.
McGillicuddy responded by saying that the alleged victim in the April case had suffered ‘documented physical injury’ as a result of the alleged incident, which she described as ‘predatory.’
Earlier this week, Sheffiled filed a transfer request with the Fulton County Court to move KJ’s case to Georgia’s juvenile justice system, arguing that the teen, who is facing the possibility of a 25-year prison sentence, is young enough to be rehabilitated.

Meanwhile, Kim and Kroy are in the middle of a very contentious separation and divorce which has yet to be finalized, but the two put their differences aside and put on somewhat of a united front at the latest court hearing.
Kim remained ‘stone-faced’ while sitting beside daughter Brielle Biermann, 29, while Kroy looked ‘stressed’ according to an eyewitness for the publication.
Kim and daughter Brielle refused to answer any questions about the case from reporters while leaving the court room.
Last month the matriarch, who appeared on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, hit out at the allegations and maintained KJ’s innocence in a statement to Our News Outlet as she branded them ‘reckless and deeply troubling.
Zolciak said: ‘He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged.
‘My son voluntarily took a polygraph examination regarding these allegations and passed,’ she claimed.
‘Additionally, an examination was conducted, and no DNA belonging to my son was found.’
‘We remain confident that the facts and evidence will establish the truth, and we ask that people allow the proper process to take its course rather than spreading unproven allegations.’
