Kim Zolciak’s Son Arrested on Sex Crime Charges, August 22

Kroy Biermann Jr., the 15-year-old son of former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak and ex-Atlanta Falcons linebacker Kroy Biermann, was arrested Monday, August 17, and charged with two felonies: aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery. The charges stem from an alleged incident on April 23 at Life Time Fitness in Alpharetta, Georgia. He is being held without bond, with his next hearing scheduled for September 1.

What the charges allege

According to Alpharetta Police and court documents filed in Fulton County, the alleged victim reported that Biermann Jr. met her in the facility’s cafe before leading her into a family changing area. She told police he physically restrained her, engaged in unwanted sexual contact, and forced her to engage in sexual acts against her will. The alleged victim was examined at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta on April 24, where a sexual assault kit was completed. Tests on the alleged victim did not reveal any male DNA, according to court documents.

Why the case began in adult court

Although Biermann Jr. is a juvenile, Georgia law requires cases involving serious felonies to begin in adult court. The Alpharetta Police Department confirmed he is being charged as an adult. Prosecutors could later decide to move the case to juvenile court. His attorney, Jason Sheffield, vehemently denied the allegations, stating his client is presumed innocent and “in fact, innocent.”

Kim Zolciak’s response and the polygraph claim

In a statement to TMZ, Zolciak said the allegations are “nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling” and that her son “categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged.” She added that her son “voluntarily took a polygraph examination regarding these allegations and passed.” The case remains in early stages, and Biermann Jr. has not been formally indicted. Prosecutors are still gathering evidence as the investigation continues.

Family background and custody battles

Biermann Jr. is the eldest son of Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, who share six children. The couple has been embroiled in a highly publicized divorce with intense legal and custody battles. Zolciak was an original cast member of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta. Kroy Biermann was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL draft and played linebacker for the team.

Final Thoughts

Biermann Jr. faces serious felony charges with his next hearing set for September 1. The case remains in early stages, and prosecutors have not yet decided whether to seek formal indictment or move the case to juvenile court. The family’s high-profile status has drawn significant media attention to the allegations.
