Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr. is out of juvenile detention. The 15-year-old son of RHOA alum Kim Zolciak was released this week after roughly a month in custody. He is now serving house arrest at Zolciak’s home under strict court conditions, according to TMZ.
A Fulton County Superior Court judge granted KJ a $200,000 bond earlier this month. The hearing itself was contentious. His attorney, Jason Sheffield, had argued for a lower bond amount. He noted that Zolciak is currently unemployed and could supervise KJ directly. Under the release terms, KJ must wear an ankle monitor. He must remain under 24-hour house arrest. He must attend school entirely online and stay off social media and his phone. He is also barred from any contact with the alleged victim, her family, or her associates. He cannot be around anyone under 16, including his own younger siblings.
KJ was formally indicted by a Fulton County grand jury. The charges include aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, and aggravated sexual battery. They stem from an alleged incident with a classmate earlier this year. It’s important to note these remain allegations at this stage. KJ has not been convicted of any charge.
Sheffield has maintained that KJ is “100% innocent” throughout the case. Zolciak has echoed that defense publicly. She previously called the allegations against her son “reckless and deeply troubling” in a statement to Us Weekly. She also said he voluntarily took and passed a polygraph examination regarding the claims.
A Case Still Very Much Ongoing
House arrest is not a resolution here. It’s a holding pattern while the legal process continues. The conditions the judge set say a lot on their own. Keeping KJ away from his own younger siblings and off any phone or social media shows how seriously the court is treating this, regardless of the outcome. What matters most going forward is what a courtroom actually determines. Not what any statement from either side claims in the meantime.
