Kroy Biermann Jr. Indicted on Seven Felony Counts Following Sexual Assault Arrest
Kroy Biermann Jr., the 15-year-old son of Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, has officially been indicted, about three weeks after his shocking arrest. The indictment includes seven felony charges that could lead to significant legal repercussions. Here is everything you need to know about the teen’s arrest, the allegations against him, and what his mom has said since the legal journey started.
Kroy Biermann Jr. has been indicted on seven felony charges
The case against Kroy Biermann Jr. is moving ahead. Just days after the teen requested to be released on bond, citing his stellar academic performance, a grand jury returned a seven-count indictment against him. According to multiple outlets, the charges include aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, and aggravated sexual battery, as well as three separate counts of sexual battery against a child under 16, and false imprisonment.
Kroy Biermann Jr. is being represented by attorney Jason Sheffield. He has not yet entered a plea. His next court date is scheduled for September 8. As of now, he is being held at a youth detention center.
What led to the teen’s arrest?
While Kroy Biermann Jr. was arrested late last month, the charges actually stem from an alleged incident that took place back in April. Widely circulated police records indicate that a classmate of Biermann Jr. accused the teen of following her into a gym changing area and sexually assaulting her.
After the incident, the unnamed victim reportedly sought medical care at an area hospital. Police responded to the hospital to speak with the alleged victim. Police reportedly made contact with Kroy Biermann Sr. in May regarding the alleged incident. He told police he’d speak with his estranged wife, Kim Zolciak, about the situation. It is unclear how much additional contact the police department had with the family ahead of Biermann Jr.’s August arrest.
Kim Zolciak’s Response
Kim Zolciak has never been one to hold back or shy away from the spotlight, and she’s not shying away now. Since Kroy Biermann Jr.’s arrest, she’s been vocal. In a statement given to E! News following his arrest, the former reality star called the allegations “reckless and deeply troubling” and said her son denies any involvement with the accuser or the conduct described. She has also pointed to a polygraph exam as evidence of his innocence, telling outlets that Biermann Jr. voluntarily took the test and passed it. details of that test, including who administered it and what questions were asked, have not been made public.
Zolciak, who was previously married to Kroy Biermann and has been navigating a contentious divorce and a more contentious custody battle, has not backed away from public life since the arrest. She has been spotted several times since Biermann Jr. was taken into custody.
Before Kroy Biermann Jr.’s shocking arrest, Zolciak was feuding with her estranged husband and his new girlfriend, Jillian Green, after the pair were spotted kissing despite months of denying romance rumors. Green was previously married to Zolciak’s current love interest, Kyle Mowitz. That drama has taken a backseat in light of what has transpired since.
This is a developing story.
