Kim Zolciak has broken her silence after her 15-year-old son, KJ Biermann, was taken into custody on serious sexual-offense charges in Georgia. The family disputes the claims and their statements raise questions about evidence, police procedure and next steps in a case that has drawn national attention.

Local prosecutors charged KJ, whose legal name is Kroy Biermann Jr., with aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery. The arrest occurred in Alpharetta on Aug. 19, according to court filings.
Authorities say the alleged incident happened on April 23 in a school gym locker room and involved a female classmate. Court documents describe multiple alleged attempts to remove the victim’s clothing and claims of forced oral and digital contact.
- Alleged location: co-ed sauna and changing area.
- Alleged date of incident: April 23.
- Charges: aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery.
Timeline of events and immediate aftermath
According to court records, the accuser did not report the incident immediately. She is said to have left campus the following day and sought help after experiencing severe anxiety.
She later underwent a medical exam at North Fulton Hospital. That exam, dated April 24, is central to the case because it reportedly found no male DNA in the areas the alleged victim described.
- April 23: Alleged assault.
- April 24: Victim reports to hospital; medical exam performed.
- Aug. 19: Arrest of KJ Biermann.
- Sept. 1: Scheduled court appearance.
Family response: public statements from Kim Zolciak and legal team
Kim Zolciak’s representatives sharply disputed the accusations. They described the claims as reckless and troubling, and said KJ denies any involvement.
The family’s statement stressed two points they say support his innocence:
- KJ voluntarily submitted to a polygraph, which his supporters say he passed.
- A forensic exam reportedly found no male DNA consistent with the alleged assault.
The family asked the public to refrain from rushing to judgment and urged that the legal process be allowed to follow established procedures.
Defense arguments: attorney’s claims and questions raised
KJ’s attorney told reporters his client is innocent and that he attempted to present evidence to the arresting officer. The lawyer noted the polygraph results and pointed to other allegations he says the accuser has made against other people.
The defense emphasized the absence of DNA evidence in the victim’s exam report and called the decision to hold the teen without bond a tragedy. They appealed for privacy for both families while the matter unfolds.
Forensic findings and investigative details
Medical exam results
The hospital exam from April did not detect male DNA in the mouth or vaginal samples, according to the police report. Investigators included that finding in their arrest paperwork.
Polygraph and other evidence
The family says KJ took and passed a polygraph administered by a known examiner. Law enforcement and courts treat polygraph results differently, so their role in prosecutions varies by jurisdiction.
Defense representatives also claim the alleged accuser has made similar accusations involving other individuals. They say that history merits scrutiny.
How the juvenile court is handling the case
Because KJ is a minor, his case is in juvenile court. He is currently detained without bond at the Fulton County Juvenile Court Detention facility.
His next scheduled appearance is on Sept. 1, when a judge will review the charges and evidence and consider detention status and other procedural matters.
Broader context: family dynamics and public scrutiny
Kim Zolciak and her estranged husband, former NFL player Kroy Biermann, have been in a contentious divorce since 2023. The couple co-parent KJ and their other children: Kash, 14, and twins Kaia and Kane, 12.
Zolciak also has two adult daughters from a prior relationship, Brielle and Ariana. The high-profile nature of the family has amplified public interest and media coverage of the case.
Both families have asked for space and privacy amid widespread attention and social media commentary.
What to expect next in the investigation and legal process
- Prosecutors will review all forensic and witness evidence before deciding on trial strategy.
- The juvenile court will determine whether to continue detention or impose conditions for release.
- Defense counsel may seek further testing or challenge the admissibility of certain items of evidence.
As the case develops, new filings, hearing dates and any additional forensic reports will shape the path forward.
