Officials in Fulton County say the teen was taken into custody Monday and booked on aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery. He is being held without bond. A juvenile court hearing is scheduled for Sept. 1.
What prosecutors say happened at the gym
Court filings allege the incident occurred at a Life Time fitness center in Alpharetta, Georgia, on April 23. The complainant is a female classmate who was 15 at the time, according to the paperwork.
- She told investigators the encounter took place in a co-ed sauna.
- She alleges the teen forced himself on her after she said no.
- The documents state he attempted to remove clothing and that oral and digital sexual acts occurred.
- The victim says she eventually escaped and the suspect left the facility.
Security footage and access details
Prosecutors note the teen did not scan into the gym on the day in question. Still, surveillance footage reportedly captured his presence inside the facility.
Medical exam, DNA results and investigative steps
The alleged victim sought medical attention the day after the encounter. An April 24 examination at a North Fulton hospital is cited in police paperwork.
The report states no male DNA was detected in the areas the victim reported had been assaulted. Investigators have continued to collect evidence and interview witnesses.
- Police first attempted contact with the family on May 14.
- Officers spoke with Kroy Biermann a few days later about whether the teen could be interviewed.
Defense claims and family statements
The teen’s attorney has publicly insisted his client is innocent. He says the teen took and passed a polygraph administered by a noted examiner, and that he has evidence suggesting previous false claims by the accuser.
The lawyer emphasized there was no male DNA found and called the detention without bond a tragedy. He asked the public not to assume guilt before the court process runs its course.
Kim Zolciak issued a statement describing the accusations as “reckless” and saying her son denies any involvement. She also noted the polygraph and the negative DNA results.
Zolciak’s statement warned that false allegations can harm real survivors and urged that evidence be allowed to determine the truth. Page Six and other outlets have sought comment from Biermann’s representatives.
Alleged victim’s account and school events
According to court documents, the girl did not immediately report the incident. The next day she returned to school and encountered a friend of the suspect. The paperwork says she left campus, developed a panic attack, and then contacted family members.
The documents identify the complainant as someone who described herself as close to the suspect’s girlfriend.
Public reaction and reporting
Media outlets first published the arrest after law-enforcement sources confirmed the booking. The case has generated widespread attention due to the family’s public profile and the gravity of the accusations.
Family background and recent public posts
The teen is one of several children Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann co-parent amid a contested divorce. The siblings include Kash and twins Kaia and Kane. Zolciak also has two adult daughters whom Biermann legally adopted.
Just months before the arrest, Zolciak publicly praised her son in an Instagram birthday message, calling him disciplined and praising his work ethic and hugs.
