Kroy Biermann Jr., 15, Seeks Bond Release After 2 Felony Sex-Crime Charges

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo! Voices · Sep 3

Summary

  • Georgia court filings show Kroy Biermann Jr. has asked a judge to release him on bond after his arrest last month over allegations he sexually assaulted a classmate in a gym changing area.
  • His lawyers argue the 15-year-old is not a flight risk, pointing to his academic standing, athletic scholarships and ties to parents, siblings, teachers, coaches and friends.
  • The defense also says he knew of the allegations since April and never tried to flee, and notes he submitted to a polygraph exam, though the filing did not disclose the questions asked.
  • The petition also seeks to keep proceedings confidential because both Biermann Jr. and the alleged victim are juveniles, in a case drawing heavy attention because his parents are Kim Zolciak and former NFL player Kroy Biermann.
