Kim Zolciak’s 15-year-old son KJ Biermann — who is currently in jail after being charged with seven felonies in his sexual assault case — was suddenly canceled on Tuesday.
No reason was given as to why the hearing, scheduled for Tuesday, was canceled because native teenager Kroy Jr, better known as KJ, has been held at the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center in Atlanta since his arrest on August 17.
Biermann’s attorney, Jason Sheffield, confirmed this Page six that the court date was canceled as he told the publication that the state’s complaint, filed on Thursday, September 3, has now become the “controlling action” in the case.
Sheffield also said that the judge who would have overseen the preliminary hearing will be replaced, as he explained: “Because the state has indicted my client, the judge who would have presided over the preliminary hearing today has been stripped of that authority.
“There are several upcoming court hearings, including a motion to transfer the case to juvenile court, a bond hearing and an arraignment on the current charges.
“Unfortunately, we will have to wait for our day in court where we can finally level the playing field.”

KJ was indicted by a grand jury last week on seven felonies, including: aggravated child abuse, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, three counts of sexual battery against a child under 16, and false imprisonment.
These charges stem from an alleged encounter with a female classmate at a Life Time fitness center in Alpharetta, Georgia on April 23.
His lawyer Sheffield said the state had made it clear that it intends to try KJ as an adult, which will be litigated at today’s hearing.
The attorney said, “We expect to enter not guilty pleas to all charges at the plea and arraignment hearing on October 14.”
“I am going to file a request to transfer the case to the juvenile court and have him tried as a minor.”
According to Fulton County records obtained by Page Six, a bond hearing is now scheduled for Friday, September 11.
His barrister Sheffield said: ‘It is difficult to understand how a 14 or 15 year old child could be held in custody for a month or more simply pending a hearing.
“But that detention is a direct result of the detective’s decision to arrest him on charges of this magnitude.

“Once those charges were selected, the law governing the bond left little room for his age or juvenile status to meaningfully change what happened next. In this sense, the seriousness of the allegations does not merely define the accusation; in fact, it strips away many of the protections we usually associate with treating a child differently than an adult.”
This comes amid news that KJ is likely to undergo “close supervision” if he is granted bail after being taken into custody last month over allegations of sexual assault by a female classmate.
The teen remains behind bars. KJ has denied all allegations against him.
Lindsay Richards, sexual assault expert and former prosecutor, gave her insight into KJ’s attempt to get out of prison, saying: ‘I think there is a good chance he will be released and there will be a lot of conditions attached to his release.
“I think he’s on a GPS. He will probably be grounded because he has to do school at home,” she said Page six.
She also said the “incredibly serious” charges could land the teen in prison for decades if convicted.
Richards, who is not involved in his case, said KJ may have to enroll in therapy and educational courses before going to trial.
Richards noted that the fact that KJ remains in custody indicates the seriousness of the situation.

“The fact that I didn’t leave him in the care of his parents with any form of electronic monitoring, it amazes me for this young child,” Richards continued.
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Zolciak, Biermann and KJ’s attorney for further comment.
KJ was arrested last month in Alpharetta, Georgia, for the alleged April 23 offense.
According to Fulton County Georgia Juvenile Court papers obtained by the Daily Mail, the alleged victim said she was at the gym when she saw KJ, and claimed he suggested they go to a coed sauna.
According to the documents, to get to the sauna they had to walk through a family locker room, where the alleged incident took place.
The girl claimed KJ started touching her and she said no. She then alleged that he forced her to perform oral sex on him and that she “attempted to have intercourse with her several times by attempting to pull down her pants.” She claimed that when she “finally managed to get away from him… he pulled up his pants and left.”
Zolciak called the allegations “reckless and deeply disturbing” in a statement to The Daily Mail, saying: “He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she alleges.
“My son voluntarily took a polygraph exam regarding these allegations and passed,” she alleged.
‘In addition, an investigation was conducted and no DNA from my son was found.’
“We remain confident that the facts and evidence will prove the truth, and we ask that people allow due process to take place rather than spreading unproven allegations.”
According to documents, on April 24, 2026, an officer was dispatched to North Fulton Hospital for a reported assault.

Police said the alleged victim and her father claimed the incident took place the day before at a nearby gym.
The alleged victim was examined at North Fulton Hospital in Georgia on April 24 and no evidence of male DNA was found in her mouth or vagina, according to the report.
Police have opened an investigation and an officer says he tried to contact Kroy Sr. on May 14.
The officer says he spoke with him on May 18 and Kroy Sr said he would “discuss the matter with Kim.”
KJ is being held in Fulton County Juvenile Court without bond.
His lawyer tried to get the teenager released on bail on Wednesday afternoon.
His attorneys have filed documents arguing that the teen is not a flight risk and that his strong academic and athletic record is evidence of his good character.
The lawyer said Biermann Jr. “is a high school student in good standing who has demonstrated strong academic performance,” in addition to receiving college scholarships for his athletic prowess.
They also point out that Biermann Jr. never fled the state, despite being aware of the charges against him in April, and also submitting to polygraph tests.
The lawyer also asks that the proceedings be kept confidential because both Biermann Jr. as his alleged victims are minors, as well as public interest in the case due to Zolciak’s fame as a reality TV star.
KJ’s lawyer Jason Sheffield told The Daily Mail last month: ‘My client is 100% innocent and attempted to present evidence to the arresting officer, including an approved polygraph from a notable and respected sex offender Polygrapher.
“The fact that he has been arrested and is being held without Bond is a tragedy. Not only is he presumed innocent, he is actually innocent.

“I will work tirelessly to demonstrate to the District Attorney’s Office the vile nature of these false allegations and to bring this case to a close as quickly as possible. I ask the public not to assume the truth of these allegations and to give the families on both sides their space and privacy.”
In May, Zolciak, 48, who was embroiled in a bitter child custody feud and divorced from Biermann, 40, celebrated KJ’s 15th birthday.
Zolciak shared several family photos from over the years, including photos of KJ’s older sisters, Brielle, 29, and Ariana, 24, along with several photos that highlighted the striking resemblance he had to his younger brothers, Kash, 14, and 12-year-old Kane.
Zolciak and Biermann also welcomed daughter Kaia, 12, Kane’s twin brother.
The former Atlanta Falcons linebacker adopted Brielle and Ariana after tying the knot with his estranged wife in 2011.
The reality TV couple split in 2023 and had a series of breakups and reconciliations before parting ways for good.
In March, Biermann asked the court to grant him full custody of their minor children, and in a lawsuit accused his ex of “blatant mismanagement of basic parenting responsibilities.”
In June, a judge granted Biermann primary physical custody of their four minor children after claiming Zolciak was “unstable and unfit.”
Zolciak and Biermann will continue to share joint custody of the children.
