Kim Zolciak & Brielle Shush Courthouse as Son Kroy Faces Battery Case

On Friday, September 11, Atlanta’s Fulton County Superior Court became the backdrop for a hush‑up moment as Kim Zolciak and her daughter Brielle Biermann exited the courthouse after their 15‑year‑old son, Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr., faced a sexual battery hearing.

Footage captured by shows the two women in matching black dresses and sunglasses, stepping out into a sea of reporters. They chose to remain silent as the media pressed questions about their son’s alleged innocence and whether they could keep him out of trouble.

Reporters asked Zolciak if she believed KJ was innocent, but she offered no answer. When a journalist inquired whether she would be able to keep her son out of trouble despite the sexual battery charge, the actress again stayed quiet.

The silence extended to inquiries about how she planned to handle his legal situation once the case moved forward.

A bond hearing followed KJ’s August arrest on aggravated sexual assault and aggravated sodomy charges tied to an alleged incident with an unidentified minor at a local gym.

Prosecutors later indicted him on aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, false imprisonment and three counts of sexual battery against a child under 16.

Deputy District Attorney Caitlin McGillicuddy said investigators found phone footage that allegedly showed KJ with a family member under 12 engaging in sexual activity.

## What Happened Outside the Courthouse

Outside the courthouse, Zolciak and Biermann’s matching black dresses caught cameras’ attention, but their faces remained concealed behind sunglasses. Reporters pressed a flurry of questions about KJ’s innocence and how the family intended to navigate his legal challenges; both mothers responded with silence.

Their presence drew immediate speculation, but no formal statements were offered.

Footage captured by shows the duo stepping out into a crowd of reporters, yet they turned away from most cameras. No statements were released during that moment, and their spokesperson declined to comment at the time. The silence was palpable as reporters tried to pry for comments.

This moment came after the bond hearing, where KJ’s future status was debated.

## Legal Backdrop and Current Status

KJ’s arrest in August followed an alleged incident at a local gym involving a minor female classmate. Earlier, on August 21, Zolciak had said the allegations were reckless and deeply troubling.

Prosecutors said he was charged with aggravated sexual assault and sodomy, later expanding the indictment to include aggravated child molestation, false imprisonment and multiple counts of sexual battery. The alleged assault took place in a gym sauna, .

Deputy District Attorney Caitlin McGillicuddy alleged investigators discovered phone footage showing KJ and an unidentified family member under age 12 engaging in sexual activity, along with evidence of “multiple encounters” where he used predatory and derogatory language toward the victim.

The prosecutor’s remarks highlighted the severity of the alleged misconduct.

KJ’s lawyer, Jason Sheffield, filed a motion on September 8 to move the case to juvenile court, arguing that an adult trial would be inappropriate for a 15‑year‑old. The boy remains in Atlanta’s Regional Youth Detention Center while awaiting a bond decision.

KJ’s attorney emphasized that moving the case could reduce exposure to adult court.

## Next Steps and Court Proceedings

KJ’s arraignment is scheduled for October, but his current detention at the youth facility reflects the seriousness of the charges. Prosecutors’ findings include alleged footage of sexual activity involving a minor and claims of predatory language.

The court will also review the evidence presented by prosecutors regarding the alleged predatory language.

KJ’s lawyer, Jason Sheffield, told a reporter that his client is “100 percent innocent” and emphasized the difficulty of holding a teenager in detention for over a month while awaiting bond. He urged judges to consider KJ’s age and developmental status before sentencing.

He highlighted that the arrest itself was a consequence of the detective’s decision.

The case remains in motion, with court dates looming and the family maintaining that the allegations are unsubstantiated. Public attention continues as KJ’s legal team seeks a juvenile hearing and a bond determination.
