Kim Zolciak’s Son KJ’s Arrest Compels Forensic Interviews of Children

**Georgia Prosecutors Seek Forensic Interviews with Minors in KJ Biermann Case**

In late September, state prosecutors in Georgia filed a motion asking the court to compel forensic interviews of unidentified minors in the case against 15‑year‑old Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr., the son of reality‑TV personalities Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann.

The petition, submitted Thursday, September 17, follows Biermann’s August arrest on counts of aggravated sexual assault and sodomy after an alleged incident with a minor earlier in the year. Biermann has denied the allegations and has not entered a plea, while prosecutors seek additional evidence through forensic interviews.

## Background & Context

KJ Biermann was indicted earlier this month on five new charges: aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, false imprisonment, and three counts of sexual battery against a child under 16. The indictment also contains other charges for which he has not yet been arrested.

He was held in a juvenile detention center before being released on a $200,000 bail bond on September 11, and will now be supervised pre‑trial until his arraignment in October. Bond conditions require an electronic ankle monitor, 24‑hour house arrest, and no access to phones or social media.

Biermann’s attorneys have asked that the case be transferred to juvenile court, arguing that adult prosecution would be inappropriate for a minor. They also seek closed hearings to protect the identities of all juveniles involved.

In response, a judge issued an order restricting media recording and photography at all proceedings, with any records filed under seal. The order explicitly states that “any such records shall be filed under seal and any such exhibits admitted at the bond hearing for the court’s consideration will conform to the terms of this order.”

## What Happened

The new motion alleges that prosecutors have a “good faith basis for concern regarding additional minors who require forensic interviews related to this case.” , the state also wants video evidence reviewed in camera or a closed courtroom, with the defendant’s counsel present.

The videos are described as explicit, and prosecutors request they be considered under seal to preserve privacy. This request comes amid ongoing investigations into alleged offenses involving an unnamed minor victim.

The motion was filed by attorneys representing the State of Georgia and is the latest step in a series of legal maneuvers that began with Biermann’s arrest. It reflects the state’s intent to gather all possible evidence, including testimonies from minors who may have been affected.

If granted, the court would order forensic interviewers to conduct specialized interviews designed to elicit reliable information from young witnesses.

## What Happens Next

The motion will be considered by a judge in the upcoming court schedule, though no specific hearing date has yet been announced. Biermann’s attorneys continue to push for a juvenile‑court transfer and a closed‑court environment, .

Meanwhile, prosecutors maintain that the case requires all available evidence, including sealed video footage and forensic interviews with unidentified minors.

The next major development will likely be the court’s decision on whether to accept the motion for forensic interviews. Should the court grant it, the investigative team would begin scheduling and conducting interviews in a manner compliant with state law.

Until then, Biermann remains on pre‑trial supervision and faces an arraignment set for October.

The case remains in flux as both sides prepare their arguments and additional evidence is gathered.
