Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr., the 15-year-old son of reality television star Kim Zolciak and former NFL player Kroy Biermann, remains held at Atlanta’s Metro Regional Youth Detention Center without bond following a Fulton County Superior Court hearing. According to Deputy District Attorney Caitlin McGillicuddy, investigators discovered videos on the teenager’s cell phone depicting multiple encounters with a family member under the age of 12.
Prosecutors Reveal Previous Juvenile Matters and Videos
During the Friday court proceeding before Judge Melynee Leftridge, Deputy District Attorney Caitlin McGillicuddy stated that investigators recovered digital evidence from KJ’s device featuring “predatory, derogatory” language directed at the young relative. According to McGillicuddy, the teenager has been under court supervision since October 2025 in connection with that matter. This marks the second time the 15-year-old has faced accusations of a serious sexual nature involving female victims, prosecutors noted. Court records show he was previously charged with sexual battery against a victim under 16, a detail that had not been publicly reported prior to the hearing.
Defense Disputes Prosecutor’s Characterization
Defense attorney Jason Sheffield strongly challenged the state’s presentation of the earlier juvenile case, telling the court that the prosecution’s statements “grossly misrepresent” the underlying facts. According to Sheffield, the prior incident involved inappropriate behavior between two middle-schoolers and did not result in an adjudication for statutory rape or similar offenses. Sheffield previously asked the court to release his client on a $65,000 bond, proposing that Zolciak monitor the teenager at home. The defense attorney described the detention as deeply traumatic for the high school student, who is a recognized football player and academic participant.
Current Felony Charges and Fitness Center Incident
The current legal proceedings stem from a separate grand jury indictment on September 3, charging KJ with seven felonies, including aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, three counts of aggravated sexual battery against a child under 16, and false imprisonment. According to court documents cited by Page Six, the charges involve an alleged April 23 encounter with a 15-year-old female classmate at a Life Time Fitness center in Alpharetta, Georgia. Prosecutors argued against a low bond, with McGillicuddy pointing to documented physical injuries suffered by the victim and requesting a $190,000 bond if released. Judge Leftridge stated she will decide by Monday whether to grant bond, ahead of an arraignment scheduled for October 14.
