High-Profile Arrest in Alpharetta
Kroy “KJ” Biermann, the 15-year-old son of reality television personalities Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, has been arrested in Alpharetta, Georgia, on charges of aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery, according to court records reported by Us Weekly. The arrest took place on Monday, August 17, 2026, following a police investigation that stemmed from an incident reported earlier in the spring.
The teenager is currently being held at the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center. A judge chose not to set bond. A preliminary hearing in the case has been scheduled for September 8, 2026. The high-profile arrest places the minor at the center of a severe criminal proceeding while his parents’ ongoing divorce and custody battles continue to play out in public view.
Hospital Visit Triggers Investigation
According to police documents obtained by TMZ, the investigation began after an officer was dispatched to North Fulton Hospital on April 24, 2026, for a reported sexual assault. The alleged victim, described as a teenage classmate of the suspect, and her father informed authorities that the incident occurred a day earlier inside a nearby gym.
In the police report, the teenage girl stated she was at the gym when she encountered Kroy Biermann Jr., and the two eventually went into a co-ed sauna. The report details that the girl alleged the teenager became physical with her, and that despite her repeatedly telling him no, he continued the assault. She claimed he forced her mouth onto his penis and digitally penetrated her vagina.
Police Contact and Medical Examination
Investigators initiated contact regarding the allegations on May 14, 2026, when an officer attempted to reach Kroy Biermann Sr. According to police, the officer spoke with the father on May 18, at which point Kroy Sr. stated he would discuss the matter with Kim Zolciak.

Court documents note that the alleged victim underwent a hospital examination where doctors did not find evidence of male DNA in her mouth or vagina.
Turbulent Family Background
Neither Kim Zolciak nor Kroy Biermann immediately addressed the arrest publicly. The family has spent recent years navigating a turbulent public separation.

Zolciak, 48, and Biermann, 40, married in 2011—the same year KJ was born—before filing for divorce in 2023 after more than a decade of marriage. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star and the former NFL player share four biological children: KJ, Kash, and twins Kaia and Kane, while Biermann also adopted Zolciak’s two eldest daughters, Ariana and Brielle, from a previous relationship.
Upcoming Legal Proceedings
The criminal case adds a severe legal crisis to an already complex family dynamic marked by contentious custody disputes and ongoing divorce proceedings. With a preliminary hearing set for early September, further details regarding the prosecution’s evidence and the defense’s response are expected to emerge in court.
