Discretion advised: This story involves allegations of sexual assault involving minors.
A Georgia judge granted $200,000 bond Friday, September 11, to Kroy Biermann Jr., the 15-year-old son of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak and former Atlanta Falcons player Kroy Biermann, following a hearing that revealed a previously unknown prior court matter.
The Current Charges
Biermann Jr. was indicted by a Fulton County grand jury on seven felony counts, including aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, three counts of sexual battery against a child under 16, and false imprisonment. He was arrested on August 17. According to the indictment, prosecutors — who are charging Biermann Jr. as an adult — allege the incident occurred inside a locked changing room at a Lifetime Fitness gym in Alpharetta, involving a 14-year-old girl. A redacted police incident report indicates officers responded to North Fulton Hospital on April 24 following a report of sexual assault, with the alleged incident having occurred the day before.
What Came Out at the Bond Hearing
During Friday's hearing, prosecutors revealed that Biermann Jr. has been under court supervision since October 2025, stemming from a separate case dating back to 2023 that was adjudicated in juvenile court and involved a family member. Prosecutors said his court supervision from that earlier matter was set to expire in 2027, meaning he was still under active supervision when the current charges were filed. Prosecutors characterized the new case as marking the second time he's been charged with a serious sexual offense.
The Prosecution's Argument
Prosecutors initially sought to deny bond entirely, arguing Biermann Jr. poses a danger to those close to him. "I don't believe there are any conditions that you can put on him for bond that would adequately safeguard potential future victims, including those that are close to him, including people who know him," a member of the prosecution team told the judge.
The Defense's Argument
Biermann Jr.'s attorney, Jason Sheffield, argued his client was not a flight risk, a danger to the community, or a risk to intimidate witnesses. The defense noted Biermann Jr. was willing to accept significant conditions, including wearing an ankle monitor, restricting his movement to church, school, and court appearances only, and giving up both social media and cell phone access. Sheffield also pushed back sharply on the characterization of the prior case, telling TMZ: "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 Bond Conditions
The judge ultimately granted bond at $200,000, with strict conditions: Biermann Jr. must reside at his Alpharetta home with his mother and attend school virtually. Anyone under 16 — including his own siblings — is barred from living in or visiting the home, and he is only permitted to leave for doctor and court appearances. He is also prohibited from using a cell phone or social media and must wear an electronic monitoring device.
The Family's Public Response
Kim Zolciak issued a statement to Page Six defending her son and denying the allegations: "The allegations being made against my son are nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling. He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged." Attorney Sheffield has separately maintained his client's innocence, stating that Biermann Jr. passed a polygraph examination, and criticized the broader public attention on the case: "This is not the kind of information that should be for public dissemination. These are juveniles."
What's Next
With bond now granted and strict house-arrest conditions in place, the felony case is expected to proceed through Fulton County's court system. Given that both Biermann Jr. and the alleged victims in both the current and prior cases are minors, further proceedings are likely to remain subject to significant privacy protections typical of cases involving juveniles.
