Teen Pleads Not Guilty, Seeks Juvenile Court Transfer in Assault Case

A 15-year-old defendant has entered a plea of not guilty against seven felony counts alleging sexual assault. KJ Biermann, son of Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, faces charges stemming from an incident involving a female classmate. His legal representation submitted filings on Monday seeking a hearing to move the matter into the juvenile justice system.

Juvenile Court Transfer Requested

Attorney Jason Sheffield filed documents in Fulton County Superior Court confirming the denial of all charges. The filing occurred after Biermann’s release from detention, which required a $200,000 bond. Sheffield waived the formal arraignment scheduled for the following Wednesday. He petitioned the judge to consider relocating proceedings to Fulton County Juvenile Court before any further hearings or trial dates are set in superior court.

Details of Allegations and Arrest

Authorities arrested Kroy Jagger Biermann Jr. on August 17. The charges include aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, aggravated child molestation, and false imprisonment. Prosecutors added three counts of aggravated sexual battery involving a child under 16. Page Six reported that allegations originated from an April encounter at a Life Time fitness center in Alpharetta, Georgia. The accuser claimed Biermann assaulted her in a co-ed sauna despite objections and prevented her departure.

Evidence and Detention Status

Medical examinations at Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center the day after the alleged incident yielded no male DNA in the victim's mouth or vagina. Biermann spent over a month at Atlanta’s Metro Regional Youth Detention Center prior to his bond release. A separate allegation regarding cellphone footage involving an underage family member surfaced during earlier hearings. Sheffield characterized this as inappropriate behavior between two middle schoolers, stating it did not result in adjudication for statutory rape or comparable offenses.

Court Documents and Family Stance

The judge approved sealing materials contained in three separate envelopes attached to the latest filing, though their contents remain unidentified. The family maintains Biermann’s innocence throughout the legal process. The current documentation records the not-guilty plea and the request for a transfer hearing. No approval for moving the case to juvenile court was established by the source information provided.
