Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s family is facing another legal development as three of their children challenge a court ruling connected to their teenage brother’s sexual assault case.
According to USA TODAY, the siblings submitted an appeal on Nov. 12 in the criminal proceedings against Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr., 15.
The Georgia Court of Appeals approved their request to review a lower-court decision. However, the reason for their involvement and the ruling they are contesting have not been publicly disclosed.
KJ filed his own appeal involving a sealed Oct. 5 order.
The former Real Housewives of Atlanta couple’s son was arrested in August following accusations that he sexually assaulted a female classmate at a gym earlier this year. A grand jury indicted him on several felony charges, including aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery and false imprisonment.
KJ denies the allegations.
His attorney, Jason Sheffield, previously called the teenager’s arrest a “tragedy,” maintaining that his client was falsely accused.
Prosecutors also discussed a separate juvenile matter during a September hearing, alleging inappropriate sexual conduct involving a younger family member.
Sheffield challenged those claims, describing the earlier incident as “inappropriate, crude behavior involving two middle-schoolers.”
KJ was released on $200,000 bond under strict conditions, including an ankle monitor and a prohibition on contacting the alleged victim.
