Teen son of Kim Zolciak, Kroy Biermann granted bond, put on house arrest
The judge imposed house arrest, GPS monitoring and a phone ban after prosecutors said the teen poses a risk to potential future victims.
On Friday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Melynee Leftridge granted Kroy 'KJ' Biermann Jr., 15, a $200,000 bond as he faces seven felony charges stemming from an alleged April incident in Alpharetta, Georgia.
Authorities arrested the 15-year-old in Alpharetta on August 17 following allegations that Biermann sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl inside a locked gym changing room.
Fulton County Deputy District Attorney Caitlin McGillicuddy characterized the alleged conduct as 'predatory' and noted a 'documented physical injury,' while defense attorney Jason Sheffield told the court the case had been 'so traumatizing' for the teenager.
Under court order, Biermann must remain on house arrest at Kim Zolciak's home while wearing a GPS monitor; he is prohibited from using social media or contacting anyone under 16, including siblings.
Granting bond does not determine guilt or innocence, and Biermann remains presumed innocent as the case proceeds through Fulton County courts.
